At the International Conference on AI Research (ICAIR 2024), Olaf Flak, PhD, presented a paper Online Managerial Tools as Research Tools to Apply Artificial Management. Results of Research, which talks about how to use online managerial tools to build a robotic manager.
Artificial intelligence (AI) can augment human intelligence in teamwork, but it is still unclear how to replace a human manager with a robot manager. The rapid development of computer science offers the possibility of replacing team managers with robots. However, it is still not possible to employ a robot in a managerial position.
Therefore, the purpose of the presented article was to present the theoretical basis of such an information system, which could be widely used by human managers in their daily work. At the same time, it could collect data on the work of managers in order to implement artificial management. The research problem concerned the theoretical assumptions needed to design this solution.
Two research questions arise from this research problem: (RQ1) What types of research methods should be used to collect data on managers’ work? (RQ2) How to implement research methods into managerial tools to automate managerial work?
The research method used in the article is literature studies, technical documentation of online managerial tools developed by the author, and long-term observation of human-managed teams.
