The development of AI
Study: Performance can be worse with standardized AI

AI can make employees perform worse. In a new study where salespeople at pharmaceutical companies were given a standardized AI tool, sales fell by 20 percent. Customized AI tools, on the other hand, made the salespeople perform better.

In an interview with Svenska Dagbladet, Sebastian Krakowski, a researcher at the Stockholm School of Economics and lead author of the study, says that companies often buy standardized AI solutions in the hope of getting better results. Instead, the technology should be adapted to the human being, he believes.
