Researchers Coin AI Replacement Dysfunction Term

8.1
Researchers and mental-health experts on February 23, 2026, introduced "AI replacement dysfunction" (AIRD) to describe psychological distress tied to AI-driven job displacement. Polling from Reuters/Ipsos found 71% of employees worry AI will permanently eliminate jobs, and reports cite over 54,000 AI-related layoffs in 2025; companies like CoStar announced 120 role reductions in 2026. The designation links these trends to anxiety, insomnia, and identity disruption.
