To enhance work efficiency using AI, it is beneficial to prompt the system to argue against one's viewpoint. This approach can generate fresh perspectives and ideas that may not have been considered otherwise. In a study involving 45 knowledge workers at a US university, researchers found that intentionally using AI to challenge one's ideas led to improved performance.
For instance, a marketing professional asked AI to create customer personas that would likely reject a product, ultimately revealing valuable insights into customer preferences. Similarly, an attorney utilized AI to uncover legal loopholes and explore potential unethical employee behavior. To make the most of AI assistance, knowledge workers should leverage their expertise to question any unfamiliar or surprising information provided by the AI.
By doing so, they can adapt new computing programs or viewpoints from multiple angles, ultimately deepening their understanding of a topic. Organizations can further support their employees by hosting AI boot camps, workshops, and AI sandboxes, encouraging cross-functional AI task forces and creating opportunities for knowledge sharing among workers.
