Human learning is an underestimated factor in the success of human–AI teams

Human–AI collaboration is widely seen as the work model of the future: The expectation is that together, humans and AI will be more productive than either working alone. Yet the research to date seemed to tell a different story: On average, human–AI teams did less well than the better of the two alone. A reanalysis led by researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Human Development now suggests this verdict was overly pessimistic.
