dcterms.abstractWith the rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, many organizations have adopted AI to collect data on worker behavior and provide feedback to workers based on such data (for simplicity, we call such tools as AI supervisors). In this study we explore how workers’ productivity is shaped by AI supervisors. We design and implement a large-scale randomized field experiment to quantify the economic impact of an AI supervisor on sales workers’ productivity and distinguish its effect on work effectiveness vs. work efficiency. Our results show that the AI supervisor positively influenced bottom-ranked sales workers’ productivity but had a negative impact on top-ranked workers’ productivity. We further seek to understand the mechanisms through which AI feedback influenced sales workers: Bottom-ranked workers’ productivity gain was driven by improvement in both selling effectiveness and customer engagement efficiency, whereas top-ranked workers’ productivity loss was largely driven by their reduction in customer engagement efficiency.
