    The Social Cost of an AI Teammate: How an Artificial Teammate Reshapes Human-Human Communication in Small-Team Decision-Making

    Nia Nixon, Jaeyoon Choi, Pedro Martins De Bastos, Mohammad Amin Samadi, Luise Mehner, Seehee Park, Spencer JaQuay

    Conversational AI is increasingly positioned as a teammate rather than a tool, yet we know little about how its presence reshapes communication among the humans on the team. We examined sociocognitive communication dynamics in team decision-making using Group Communication Analysis (GCA), team surveys, and lexical analyses of team discourse. Teams completed a high-stakes moral-dilemma decision task in a randomized controlled study: 16 teams...

    Human diversity fuels collective creativity that large language models cannot simulate or sustain

    Mengchen Dong, Hiromu Yakura

    cs.HC · cs.AI · cs.CY

    Diverse human groups produce diverse ideas, the raw material of innovation. Generative AI challenges this engine twice over: everyday AI assistance may homogenize what diverse people create, and AI-simulated diversity may replace the people altogether. We tested both challenges in a preregistered creative metaphor experiment with native (L1) and non-native (L2) English writers, who wrote without AI, with AI-generated ideas (AI ideation), or...

    AI as Friction for Reflection Support in Ideation

    Janin Koch, Xiaohan Liao, Géry Casiez

    cs.HC · cs.AI

    Generative AI tools for creative work tend to be designed around the goal of removing friction, on the assumption that smoother iteration and faster output translate into more value for the designer. We argue, however, that this framing leaves out something important about how design ideation works, namely reflection-in-action. The act of accepting, rejecting and reworking candidate ideas is both a path to a final outcome and the process...
