10 levers for shaping generative AI that truly improves worker performance | MIT Sloan

A new report prepared by experts at MIT outlines ten practical methods that businesses should follow to enhance work quality while integrating generative AI into their business processes.

The Role of Artificial Intelligence in Work Life

Employees who previously handled tasks manually now occupy a new position where they supervise and analyze the outputs generated by generative AI.

Preparation Process and Scope of the Report

As part of the study led by Ben Armstrong, Kate Kellogg, and Julie Shah, interviews were conducted with executives and employees from over twenty companies between 2023 and 2025.

Key Obstacles Encountered in AI Adoption

As a result of comprehensive analyses, three primary failure points in companies' use of generative AI were identified: underutilization, misapplication, and overuse.

Ten Practical Levers to Boost Employee Performance

To help businesses avoid these pitfalls, ten practical methods are offered, such as gathering evidence before scaling, avoiding a one-size-fits-all approach, and learning to trust.

In addition, minimizing grunt work, encouraging learning, preserving teamwork, and designing better interfaces are other prominent strategies highlighted in the report.
