Understanding Skills for Human–AI Collaboration Among Young Professionals
Short description
How do young professionals learn to work effectively with generative AI while retaining their judgement and autonomy? This project examines how people develop these capabilities over time, share tasks and responsibilities with AI, and recognise when human judgement should take precedence.
The research will explore differences across roles and workplaces, including implications for trust, motivation and wellbeing. Research questions and methods will be developed with the supervisory team; applicants are encouraged to bring their own ideas.
