AI teammates reduce human communication and social connection in teams

A new study published on arXiv explores the impact of AI teammates on human-to-human communication within small teams. Researchers found that while AI teammates were highly talkative, their contributions contained less new information and lower density compared to human participants. The presence of an AI teammate also led to reduced human-human responsivity, lower social impact, and decreased feelings of belonging and value among human team members. These negative social costs were observed immediately and did not emerge over time. AI

    The Social Cost of an AI Teammate: How an Artificial Teammate Reshapes Human-Human Communication in Small-Team Decision-Making
