AI teammates reduce human-to-human communication and social connection in teams

By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

A new study published on arXiv investigates 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 the least new information. The presence of AI also led to reduced human-to-human responsiveness, lower social impact, and decreased feelings of belonging and value among human team members. These negative social costs were immediate and present from the start of interactions. AI

IMPACT AI teammates may negatively impact human collaboration, potentially hindering team cohesion and communication effectiveness.
