Research on AI 

 

HBR & BCG.  The first study I highlighted was the one conducted by Harvard Business School and Boston Consulting Group. 

  • The full study, "Navigating the Jagged Technological Frontier: Field Experimental Evidence of the Effects of AI on Knowledge Worker Productivity and Quality" is HERE

  • For most people, I suggest reading the analysis of the study.  Wharton's Ethan Mollick did a robust analysis of the work and a summarizes it HERE

McKinsey.  The second report showed where AI was being adopted across different functional areas.  I'm very impressed with the work that McKinsey's Quantum Black group is conducting.  Their high-level research is HERE

The chart I referenced comes from the McKinsey study "The state of AI in early 2024: Gen AI adoption spikes and starts to generate value"  May 30, 2024 | Survey.  LINK

BCG:  AI at Work 2024: Friend and Foe (BCG)
