A new study by KPMG and the University of Texas at Austin found that top performers working with AI, dubbed 'AI amplifiers', are distinguished by their methods of guiding, evaluating, and refining AI outputs. These individuals effectively amplify the AI's value through active collaboration rather than solely relying on their existing knowledge.
“Researchers studied more than 500 early career professionals and found that the best performers consistently amplified the value of AI by guiding, evaluating, and refining its outputs.”
“These top performers, called AI amplifiers, weren't defined by what they knew alone, but by how they worked with AI.”
