The constant evolution of technology and the deep integration of digital tools into daily life give rise to anxiety, burnout, occupational insecurity, cognitive overload, and digital dependency. The widespread adoption of remote working and online education, particularly during the pandemic, has made these issues even more visible and intensified the pressure to keep pace with accelerating digital transformation. While artificial intelligence, a cornerstone of this digitalization process, offers significant benefits in the workplace — such as increased speed, efficiency, and personalized service delivery — it simultaneously introduces psychosocial risks including job insecurity, digital addiction, loss of work-life boundaries, and ethical concerns. Technostress manifests in multifaceted negative outcomes: at the individual level through emotional exhaustion and decision-making difficulties; at the family level through disrupted communication and work-family conflict; and at the societal level through social isolation, digital inequality, and the widening digital divide. This review aims to comprehensively analyze the psychosocial effects of digitalization and technostress on individuals, families, and society, while proposing artificial intelligence-assisted, human-centered, and ethically sensitive intervention strategies.}, number={2}, publisher={Lut TAMAM}
