Generative AI has recently become an integral part of our life, changing the way we consume, process and produce knowledge. While a lot of attention is being paid to the ways in which we communicate with AI, it is important to note that AI is also getting involved in human-to-human communication. This involvement is not limited to correcting the grammar or styling an email being sent to a colleague, a follower, or a manager. It can generate the entire message, translate it to another language and even transform it into a different medium - for instance, from text to voice or video. In this Professional Development Workshop (PDW) we aim to initiate the discussion on the opportunities and challenges related to the use of AI's mediation in human-to-human communication within organizations. The experts will share their knowledge and theorizing on the possible implications of AI-MC for individuals, teams and organizations. After the introductory remarks the participants will break into smaller groups to discuss in-depth the various opportunities and challenges for organizational management, driven by AI-MC use, and suggest new research streams to address these issues. The PDW aims to inspire research and ignite collaborations in this exciting new topic.
