  "summary": "An assistant lets people ask questions without revealing their uncertainty to a colleague. That convenience does not, by itself, justify dispensing with advice-seeking.",

    {
      "heading": "The premature conclusion",
      "point": "One might conclude that people should always ask a colleague rather than AI; these studies do not support that prescription."
    },
    {
      "heading": "What these findings do not demonstrate",
      "point": "These studies concern neither generative AI nor teams in Basel, and they do not demonstrate that consulting an assistant reduces human interaction."
    },
    {
      "heading": "A practical check in Bâle",
      "point": "As part of SHR's “IA on the job” programme, a Basel team in pharmaceuticals, life sciences, Rhine logistics or international R&D could test a rule for two weeks: use the assistant to formulate a question, then approach a colleague whenever the answer depends on a local commitment or a trade-off between functions."
