Artificial intelligence machines as relational nonhuman actors in entrepreneurial teams
从理论上探讨了人工智能机器如何作为关系性非人类行动者,与创业团队互动并影响其战略决策,包括引导团队进行复杂认知决策、探索资源组合新方式,以及管理多样性和替代外部知识。
We theoretically examine how artificial intelligence (AI) machines interact with and shape strategic decision-making within entrepreneurial teams. First, we explain how AI machines lead and assist teams to engage in cognitively complex decisions and explore new ways to combine resources. Second, we unpack this strategic decision-making reconfiguration process and examine how AI machines allow entrepreneurial teams to better manage diversity and use it as a substitute for external knowledge. Overall, we propose the idea that AI technologies cannot be conceptualized as merely additional resources but as relational nonhuman actors in entrepreneurial teams. Then, we encourage scholars to reflect on human-AI interactions in entrepreneurial teams and outline an agenda for future research.
