内容简介:

Artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm capabilities are increasingly augmented by integrating expertise from domain specialists and top performers to better align with human objectives. While prior research suggests experienced individuals often resist algorithmic guidance, we challenge this in the context of algorithm capability augmentation. Drawing on self-regulation theory, we argue that high-experienced individuals, recognizing enhanced algorithm capabilities, are more likely to follow and adapt to algorithmic recommendations. Using a natural experiment in the on-demand food delivery industry, we uncover several key findings. Specifically, high-experienced riders demonstrate greater compliance with enhanced algorithms, leading to improved productivity and eventual gains in on-time delivery rates through adaptation over time. Structural modeling and other empirical endeavors, supported by a granular proprietary dataset, reveal the mechanisms underlying their long-term learning and adaptation processes. Additionally, low-experienced riders also benefit from the algorithm‘s enhancements through consistent adherence to its guidance. Our study highlights the pivotal interplay between self-regulation (i.e., observation, evaluation, and adaptation) and algorithm capability augmentation in enhancing human–algorithm collaborations, thereby advancing both market efficiency and worker welfare.
