Authors: Wu, Ziems, Chan, Chen, et al. · arXiv: 2609.12482 [cs.CY/HC] · Category: 7 · Date: September 11, 2026. Current studies largely measure AI workplace value as automation capability and public adoption; those metrics miss human-agent collaboration across multi-step workflows. The authors propose a workflow-level framework that captures augmentation value beyond simple task automation — how AI transforms entire work processes, shifts human roles, and creates new forms of collaboration.
