How would you feel about your own worth if AI could perform some of your jobs more efficiently and wisely? What will be the impact on productivity? And how can managers using AI and companies deploying AI counter this erosion of user dignity? ’s self-esteem, how can AI companies harness this emotion to improve user productivity and persuade non-users to consider using AI?
The rise of ubiquitous and accessible artificial intelligence has led many observers, both inside and outside the companies that develop and use the technology, to believe that its potential could replace, or even conquer, human intelligence. I’m afraid there is. AI optimists, on the other hand, believe that AI will make humans more creative, inclusive, smart, and free. What these two extremes share is the belief that AI will affect the dignity of the individual. Personal dignity is defined as an individual’s belief in his or her own worth, along with several other aspects adjacent to identity, such as dignity at work and self-efficacy. This self-awareness drives people’s perceptions of the benefits and consequences of AI.
Together with my Hult International Business School colleagues Amanda Nimon-Peters and Katarzyna Baknik (I’m on campus in San Francisco, Amanda works in Dubai, and Kate works in Boston), we developed this project. I’m starting a research project. At the pivotal point of the power of AI and human dignity. What issues do you think should be considered?
