Capturing Value from Artificial Intelligence
Abstract
In this Academy of Management Discoveries Guidepost essay, we document outstanding questions regarding how organizations can capture value from artificial intelligence (AI) tools and outline pathways for future exploratory management and organizational research on AI. Specifically, we emphasize the importance of understanding how advances in AI technologies may reshape how organizations develop and use complementary assets. We highlight this point using the recent case of ChatGPT, an AI-enabled language modeler released in November 2022 that has grown in popularity more quickly than any other consumer application, including TikTok and Instagram.

The high prevalence of positive sentiment associated with Perceived Benefits (86%) indicates that students largely experienced GenAI as a valuable partner in enhancing creativity, particularly during the ideation phase of the Design Thinking process.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
