📝 Abstract
As knowledge work grows interdependent between humans and AI, we ask what makes a great co-worker in an AI-native workplace. To answer this, we conducted 22 interviews and a large-scale mixed-methods survey of 1,534 knowledge workers at a multinational technology company. We contribute BACI, a framework of 75 co-worker qualities that apply to humans and AI, spanning Benevolence, Ability, Cooperativeness, and Integrity. Comparing priorities for humans and AI identified 11 co-worker archetypes and revealed disagreement over whether AI should have warmth, take initiative, or own outcomes. We also show how priorities for these archetypes varied with workers' individual characteristics. Lastly, we contribute a taxonomy of AI work etiquette capturing the obligations co-workers expect of one another when preparing, sharing, and taking responsibility for AI-supported work. Based on these findings, we derive implications to inform worker-centric AI and workplace design.
