Robot Leadership & AI

Papers/Projects

As technology proliferates, how does that change how we lead, procreate, and create science—in ways we realize (and others we may not)?

Is AI Everywhere? A New Way “AI Hype” Shapes Social Science Research

Research on Artificial Intelligence (AI) and its use has proliferated, matching the pace of technological advances in the field of AI and its presence in business and science. While encouraging, I propose that this rapid, recent, and far-reaching interest in AI is also affecting ostensibly unrelated research. In a mixed methods program of research, I first introduce the idea of AI demand effects and reveal surprisingly strong evidence of it in two, mixed methods studies of leadership. This work contributes to the science of leadership science as well as modern methods in social science more broadly.

Medical AI “(After)glow”

As AI revolutionizes healthcare, consumer research tends to focus on the predictors of AI attitudes and use in hypothetical settings. However, experiences with AI also influence evaluations of past experiences—and future behavior—particularly in high-stakes settings. Thus, to paint a more valid and complete picture of the entire life-cycle of AI receptivity and use, we explore a theoretically rich and practically relevant context in medicine with a mixed methods program of research.

Robot Leadership: A Hard Truth Powered by Soft Skills?

Is leadership exclusively human? What would the world look like if socially-skilled robots stepped into the roles normally reserved for humans? Can “soft skills” such as humor–often touted as exclusively human skills essential for the "future of work and leadership"–power robots' rise into leadership roles? We explore these questions–and more–in this new thought-piece (see here for the publication in European Business Review).

Methods

In addition to a topic of research, we increasingly use AI as part of our package of research methods. For example, we use AI to:

  1. Systematically analyze qualitative data

  2. Improve executive personality measures (i.e., narcissism)

  3. Simulate participants in behavioral studies (i.e., leaders’ networking decisions and hiring managers’ selection decisions)
