Emma Wiles, a researcher at the Boston University Business School, found that when the AI tool was defined as an "AI employee" rather than an ordinary chat robot, the ability of managers involved in the experiment to identify errors decreased by 181 TP3T and 441 TP3T was more inclined to report the problem to their superiors than to correct it。
NEARLY ONE THIRD OF THE 1,261 MANAGERS INVOLVED IN THE STUDY INDICATED THAT THEIR COMPANIES QUALIFIED AI INTELLIGENCE AS "STAFF" AND EVEN 23% INCLUDED IT IN THE ORGANIZATIONAL CHART。
MIT economist Daron Acemoglu, the 2024 Nobel Laureate, also said that the current AI intelligent body "is marketed as an alternative to human beings, a road that cannot be travelled" and that it should be optimized as a tool for human empowerment, not a substitute。
MIT Technology Review notes that the narrative of "digital workers" is essentially a brand packaging that does not enhance the tools themselves, but makes the surrounding human employees worse off. As AI accelerates the penetration of key areas such as health, education, government and so forth, how to avoid a vacuum of responsibility in the manner in which it is deployed has become a systemic risk that cannot be ignored。
