An experiment conducted with 776 professionals at P&G found that AI significantly enhances performance, matching the results of teams without AI.Employees and teams using AI were three times more likely to suggest top-tier product ideas, leading to potential revenue growth.The study, titled 'The Cybernetic Teammate,' explored the impact of AI on team dynamics and expertise sharing.Using generative AI can automate or replace certain job functions, impacting how work is done in organizations.While the findings are promising, not all research agrees with the notion that human-AI collaboration always outperforms humans or AI alone.AI can bridge functional silos within teams, enabling experts to work collaboratively across different domains.In an experiment at P&G, individuals using AI could match the quality of work produced by traditional two-person teams.AI facilitates the breakdown of knowledge silos, allowing employees to access and integrate specialized knowledge more effectively.Employees using AI showed higher performance, increased productivity, and a broader scope of generating new ideas beyond their expertise.AI serves not only as an information tool but also as a boundary-spanning mechanism that helps professionals approach problems comprehensively.
