Report on the First Scientific Experiment to Test the Impact of Generative AI on Complex, Knowledge-Intensive Work
In a groundbreaking study involving almost 250 consultants from Boston Consulting Group, conducted by Harvard, Wharton, Warwick, MIT, and BCG, revealed significant enhancements in task quality and productivity through AI integration. The experiment, detailed in Harvard Business School's Working Paper, showed a striking almost 40% increase in task quality and a 12% productivity boost when using AI tools like ChatGPT4. However, tasks beyond AI's current capability resulted in a decline in correct outcomes, emphasizing the need for appropriate task selection. The research underscores AI's potential as a "skill leveler" among professionals, reshaping work dynamics.
