MIT SMR: Increasing AI Tool Adoption by Front-Line Workers
Some of the biggest challenges in AI implementation can arise when a tool is ready to roll out to end users - and those users resist adoption. That's typically because the project's business sponsors are not the people expected to use the tool - and they have failed to address the needs and priorities of end users. However, research by Kate Kellogg, Mark Sendak, and Suresh Balu finds that when developers make sure to address end users' concerns about workflow and autonomy, they can reconcile conflicting stakeholder interests and ensure ready adoption of AI tools.

MIT SMR: How to Succeed With AI Augmentation
For all the remarkable things that machine learning and advanced analytics can do, there are scores of things that AI-enabled machines still can't do - at least not reliably enough on their own in the real world of business. That doesn't mean you can afford to wait to take advantage of AI. Rather, it means designing AI applications that leverage what people and machines each do best, and how they can most effectively work together. In their new book, Working With AI: Real Stories of Human-Machine Collaboration, authors Thomas H. Davenport and Steven M. Miller draw on 29 detailed examples of jobs and work settings in which humans are already working day to day with AI-enabled systems and automation.

MIT SMR: How Encouraging AI Use Will Benefit Your Organization
AI is embedded in many tools we use regularly to do our jobs. But we don't always realize it. The 2022 MIT Sloan Management Review-BCG AI and Business Strategy report finds that, while 66% of survey respondents report little or no AI use in their jobs when prompted, 43% acknowledge using products with AI components sometimes or regularly. We also found that when individuals derive value from using tools with AI, their organizations benefit as well - they're more productive and reap financial benefits. Join report coauthors Sam Ransbotham, professor of analytics at Boston College, and François Candelon, senior partner and managing director at Boston Consulting Group and global director of the BCG Henderson Institute, for a live webinar that will present findings from the study.
