Over the next two years, the AI at Work program is supporting 19 field studies to understand where AI can support human work, examining impacts on productivity, wages, employment, and careers across diverse job sites globally.

Silvia Castro’s (INSEAD, LMU München) study, conducted with the research team including Svenja Friess (LMU München) and Hoa Ho (LMU München), will use a randomized controlled trial in major East African banks, to study the impact of AI tools on employee productivity, customer impact and the effort to expand financial inclusion in the Global South.

Moreover, Florian Englmaier (LMU München) as part of the team in Jorge Tamayo's (Harvard Business School) project will evaluate the impact of a new industrial copilot AI tool on the productivity, autonomy, and job satisfaction of blue- and white-collar workers in real production settings.

Congratulations, and we wish them great success in their research!
