Abstract

This research paper explores how AI, rather than being a mere automation tool is now in- creasingly seen upon as a collaborative partner. It lays emphasis on how AI is shaping the present-day world in terms of organizational environments, in the context of collaboration, cre- ativity and learning. This paper done a qualitative study of AI tools in organizational learning with original survey data gathered from professionals working in creative and design intensive roles. To understand real work implications, a survey was conducted among 35 professionals in diverse creative industries with a substantial number being product designers, UI/UX design- ers and product managers. Respondents varied in their level of experience and used different AI tools on a regular basis. Furthermore, respondents found AI tools as easy to adopt, with many reeling on online tutorials rather than formal training. Even though it shows the gap in institutional support for AI education, it represents the initiative among individuals. The study even sheds light upon the potential risks. While some participants raised concerns about the over dependence on AI which could lead to tenuous critical thinking skills and originality, other pointed out the issued related to data privacy, lack of formal training or even the skill gap in adopting these new tools. However, these concerns are outweighed by the perceived benefits of AI. These analyses are supported by including interviews with five early-career professionals working in design-oriented roles. Their views aligned in the same direction- AI tools were seen as effective in improving productivity and helped streamline routine tasks. The study aims at a clear conclusion about AI and its role in transforming creative and organizational work environments. Moreover, the challenges faced by the employees are also discussed. Ultimately the study positions AI as not a replacement for humans but as a helping hand to create an efficient, collaborative and smarter work environment.
