Abstract
Managing in a context of contemporary artificial intelligence (AI) is different from managing other technologies. The current wave of AI technologies are autonomous, they learn, and they are largely inscrutable. A key result being that now autonomous agents bracket human interaction whereas in the past it was typically the other way around. In this presentation, I will describe this bracketing perspective. Then I will present a study of how autonomous agents impact social exchange in an online community when they act as supervisors in the community, compared to when they act as participants. I conclude with directions for research on managing AI.
