Abstract

The integration of artificial intelligence technology in contemporary work environments raises questions about how human team members collaborate when being assisted by AI. We propose that the reductionist properties of AI technology could affect the logics by which teams operate. This experimental research project aims to identify possible changes in collaboration dynamics within teams when employing AI support in a creative task domain. We explore conversational changes in collaboration by analyzing problem-focused, procedural, action-oriented, and socio-emotional sentiments expressed by team members, as well as structural changes by examining the properties of the communication network resulting from team discussions. Based on the observed co-occurrence of contentual and structural changes, our research points toward emerging patterns of AI-augmented collaboration, indicating that the temporary duration of AI collaboration influences team dynamics differently.
