Abstract - In this age of Artificial Intelligence development, work-life balance finds its adaptations in technologies ranging from virtual assistants, smart scheduling, and office automation, which could in all likelihood tilt productivity in the direction of an improved work-from-anywhere paradigm. The opportunity is now met with its own set of challenges; the new 'always-on' working culture; lack of clarity about working schedules and job descriptions; and ethical considerations of AI used in measuring employee performance. AI can certainly help mental health; on the other hand, AI has created concerns around privacy, displacement of jobs, and a constant push for productivity. This paper will furnish how AI has the potential to be a game-changer for work-life balance in a mixed-optimal model for maximizing AI contributions within the workplace, while equally providing an adaptive environment with healthy boundaries. Challenges that organizations, employees, and policymakers have to face while bringing in AI for the creation of sustainable human-centered workspaces are elaborated on. The paper concludes by looking at what action’s organizations, employees, and policymakers should take when faced with these challenges while ensuring work-life balance.
Key Words: Work- Life Balance, Artificial Intelligence (AI), Blurred Boundaries, Ethical, Smart Scheduling, Virtual Assistants.
