Sophistication in GenAI Use: Field Evidence from a Large Firm

The study examines how back‑office employees at a large firm use generative AI (genAI) and finds that senior staff use it more sophisticatedly, likely because of their domain expertise. Sophistication differs across functions, peaking in Strategy, Digital Innovation, and Project Management—areas focused on firm‑wide strategic initiatives. The research also shows that sophistication does not improve over time or as a result of formal AI training, indicating that advanced use is hard to change.

The Illusion of Opting in AI-Mediated Consequential Decisions

arXiv:2605. 28210v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Drawing on Ullmann-Margalit's concept of opting (transformative, irrevocable, and shadowed by foreclosed alternatives), we show that current AI systems raise a profound ethical problem that existing AI ethics has not fully captured: the illusion of opting, in which persons and groups encounter the deceptive appearance of meaningful consequential choice while the agency needed to become genuinely capable of choosing is weakened.

Understanding Critical Thinking in Generative Artificial Intelligence Use: Development, Validation, and Correlates of the Critical Thinking in AI Use Scale

arXiv:2512. 12413v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Generative AI tools are increasingly embedded in everyday work and learning, yet their fluency, opacity, and propensity to hallucinate mean that users must critically evaluate AI outputs rather than accept them at face value.
