Beyond the Machine: Why Human-Made Art Matters More in the Age of AI

New Columbia Business School research shows that AI-generated art doesn’t always diminish human creativity. When people see human-made art next to AI art, they value it more — by up to 62 percent.

Using AI to Enhance Human Motivation

Columbia Business School Professor Stephan Meier explains how leaders can calm AI-related concerns, while also creating value.

Quick Takes

  • AI can boost productivity and work-life balance through efficiency, but presents an equality paradox - potentially leveling the playing field or concentrating benefits among few while reducing overall jobs.
  • Future leaders (today's students) will determine AI's ultimate societal impact, making their understanding of these technologies crucial.

How to Leverage AI in the Workplace

Columbia Business School Professor Olivier Toubia shares the many upsides – and downsides – of AI in the workplace.

Quick Takes

  • Generative AI has dual potential - it can increase productivity and improve work-life balance while leveling the playing field, but could also increase inequality by limiting jobs to a select few and reducing overall opportunities.
  • The ultimate impact of AI on society and business will be determined by future leaders, making it critical for today's students to understand AI as they will shape its societal effects.

Liquidity Regulation and Banks: Theory and Evidence

Journal Article
Journal
Journal of Financial Economics

This paper theoretically and empirically investigates the effects of liquidity regulation on the banking system. We document that the current quantity-based liquidity rule has reduced banks’ liquidity risks. However, the mandated liquidity buffer appears to crowd out bank lending and lead to a migration of liquidity risks to banks that are not subject to liquidity regulation. These findings motivate a model of liquidity regulation with endogenous liquidity premiums and heterogeneous banks.

Scientific Reports

The contemporary art world is conservatively estimated to be a $65 billion USD market that employs millions of human artists, sellers, and collectors globally. Recent attention paid to AI-made art in prestigious galleries, museums, and popular media has provoked debate around how these statistics will change. Unanswered questions fuel growing anxieties. Are AI-made and human-made art evaluated in the same ways? How will growing exposure to AI-made art impact evaluations of human creativity? Our research uses a psychological lens to explore these questions in the realm of visual art.

Harvard Business School Case 624-010

This case tells the story of Microsoft’s 2018 acquisition of GitHub and the subsequent launch of GitHub Copilot, a tool that uses generative artificial intelligence to suggest snippets of code to software developers in real time. Set in late 2021, when Copilot was still in beta, the case asks how Microsoft and GitHub should roll out Copilot to the public.

Artificial Intelligence in Marketing, Review of Marketing Research

The increasing importance and proliferation of text data provide a unique opportunity and novel lens to study human communication across a myriad of business and marketing applications. For example, consumers compare and review products online, individuals interact with their voice assistants to search, shop, and express their needs, investors seek to extract signals from firms’ press releases to improve their investment decisions, and firms analyze sales call transcripts to increase customer satisfaction and conversions.

Synthetically Controlled Bandits

Working Paper

We consider experimentation in settings where, due to interference or other concerns, experimental units are coarse. ‘Region-split’ experiments on online platforms, where an intervention is applied to a single region over some experimental horizon, are one example of such a setting. Synthetic control is the state-of-the-art approach to inference in such experiments. The cost of these experiments is high since the opportunity cost of a sub-optimal intervention is borne by an entire region over the length of the experiment.

When AI Teammates Come on Board, Performance Drops

Are AI teammates helping or hurting your team’s success?

In a study featured in Harvard Business Review, Columbia Business School Professor Bruce Kogut and his colleagues explored how AI teammates affect team performance and found that it often leads to a surprising outcome: team performance drops. Using the video game Super Mario Party: Dash and Dine for their experiment, the researchers discovered that teams with an AI member consistently collected fewer ingredients than those with all-human players.
