Recent research indicates that collaboration with artificial intelligence (AI) significantly enhances work performance. In a study involving professionals at Procter & Gamble, those using AI improved their performance by 37%, matching that of pairs working together, while AI-enabled teams outperformed others by 40%. Despite these benefits, concerns arise over potential long-term effects on critical thinking and cognitive development. The notion of AI as a 'cybernetic teammate' is emphasized, yet the risks of cognitive offloading are significant, raising questions about the future implications of reliance on AI for decision-making and creativity.
Participants reported that working with AI was an emotionally positive experience, increasing excitement and enthusiasm and reducing frustration.
While the short-term benefits of AI collaboration on performance are evident, the long-term impact on trust, skill development, creativity, emotional well-being, and cognition remains uncertain.
