I burned out from AI overload. My anxiety peaked, I lost weight, and I was snapping at my family and friends.

Shalirrah Wisney burned out after going all in on AI.

Shalirrah Wisney Shalirrah Wisney is a mom, podcast host, author, and B2B marketer who went all in on AI.

Her passion for constantly learning more about and using AI led her to burn out and face health issues.

To help with her burnout, Wisney has changed her tech habits and started a podcast about AI.

I believe AI will change the world for the better.

I work in B2B marketing, and my job is to stay up to date on what's happening in the world of tech and AI.

Outside work, I've self-published a children's book about AI, host my own podcast about how AI is affecting our professional and personal lives, and organize events for women curious about AI.

Yet, while AI has given me more capacity in the past few years than I've had available in the past 10 to 15 years, it has also caused me the most burnout of my life.

An AI conference catapulted my AI journey A few years ago, I was tasked with helping coordinate one of the main stages of an AI conference in France.

That conference started everything for me.

Before, I'd assumed that AI was mostly just used to solve business problems.

A talk by the founder of the AI Centre of Excellence Africa inspired me to think about AI as a global opportunity for good , not just a tool to solve business problems.

I thought, if AI can help people, I'm all in.

I read every article I could get my hands on, including both pro- and anti-AI think pieces.
