Quality Over Speed: Rethinking Productivity with AI (with Dr. Manaswi Saha)

from Human + AI Impact Initiative

AI can make work faster—but does it make it better? In this episode, Dr. Sabrina Anjara is joined by Dr. Manaswi Saha to challenge the idea that speed equals productivity in knowledge work. They explore why “just add human oversight” often fails, how misdesigned collaboration patterns quietly scale risk, and what it really means to measure human–AI collaboration quality. From agency and cognitive effort to joint utility and trust over time, this conversation reframes productivity as something you design—not something you accelerate blindly.

Barnum.Some laws teach the need for prudence (“Law 1: Never Outshine the Master”), others teach the value of confidence (“Law 28: Enter Action with Boldness”), and many recommend absolute self-preservation (“Law 15: Crush Your Enemy Totally”).
