Looking Forward: Introducing Artificial Intelligence in Teams

This symposium combines five high-quality papers that shed light on the changing role of artificial intelligence for teamwork. Artificial intelligence is becoming a major part of our work environment, especially now that digital technologies become more and more agentic, possibly even equivalent to human agents. This means that artificially intelligent agents not only support various tasks, such as monitoring and decision making, but they gradually evolve from a technology used as a tool to becoming our teammate. Therefore, in this symposium, we move beyond prior work (1) by exploring the future roles and functions of AI agents in teams, (2) by investigating the impact of human-AI collaboration on team processes, emergent states, and outcomes, and (3) by considering the interdisciplinarity of human-AI teamwork.With our findings, we aim to guide and inspire future research on AI in teams and support the introduction of human-AI-teamwork in practice.
