PYMTS - The Cybernetic Teammate: When One Human Plus AI Equals Two
The research from Johns Hopkins Carey Business School and MIT Sloan School of Management found that people working with AI produced 60% more output than those working without it, while maintaining the same quality. They also exchanged 23% fewer messages, showing less time spent coordinating and more time completing tasks. The pattern suggests that AI is reshaping collaboration. People focus on context, reasoning and judgment. Machines handle repetition, data and scale. The result is more work done in less time, with fewer steps.
