# What Are the 5 Ways to Redesign AI and Human Work?

## Open question
The author notes that the [[entity-bcg-economists]] / [[entity-boston-university-professor]] researchers recommend **'five ways organizational leaders can redesign the work of both AI and humans to get the best out of both,'** but the source does not list them.

## Why it matters
These five recommendations are the constructive counterpart to the cautionary findings in [[concept-ai-anthropomorphization-risk]] and would operationalize the 'tool, not teammate' stance beyond the single tactic in [[action-frame-ai-as-tool]].

## Resolution path
Read the underlying [[entity-org-harvard-business-review-d104]] article *'Research: Why You Shouldn't Treat AI Agents Like Employees'* (and the BCG Henderson Institute companion note) to extract the five specific recommendations.
