Mental Health News: 28 November 2025

December 16, 2025, 10:56 AM EST. Enterprises rolling out AI face two barriers: mastering the tech and shaping a culture that supports it. Psychological safety-the freedom to express opinions and take calculated risks without fear of career repercussions-emerges as essential for AI adoption. In safe environments, teams challenge assumptions and raise concerns about new tools, a prerequisite for leveraging nascent AI capabilities. Infosys CTO Rafee Tarafdar calls psychological safety mandatory in this fast-evolving era. A MIT Technology Review Insights survey of 500 business leaders finds broad self-reported safety, but persistent fear too, suggesting cultural undercurrents can undermine public safety messages. The report highlights that experiment-friendly cultures correlate with higher AI success, yet many organizations still fear blame after misfires. Achieving safety requires a systems-level HR approach embedded in collaboration processes.
