GenAI助创业但有风险,新框架帮创业者权衡利弊。
Generative AI Use in Entrepreneurship: An Integrative Review and an Empowerment-Entrapment Framework
- 构建赋能与陷阱框架,分析GenAI在创业各阶段的作用机制。
- 发现GenAI提升创意质量却可能引发幻觉与过度自信。
- 适合创业者、管理者及研究者参考,指导安全高效使用GenAI。
尽管生成式人工智能(GenAI)在创业中应用日益广泛,相关研究仍呈碎片化。本文从创业者视角出发,系统回顾GenAI在创业全过程中的影响:(1)机会识别与构思,(2)机会评估与承诺,(3)资源汇聚与动员,(4)企业创立与成长。基于此,提出“赋能-陷阱框架”,不仅梳理了GenAI在各阶段的收益与成本,还揭示其双重角色背后的权衡关系。例如,GenAI可提升创业构想质量,但可能产生幻觉与偏见;增强自我效能感,却助长过度自信;扩大功能广度与自给能力,却削弱利他行为;提高效率,却降低认知投入、学习与记忆。本文还识别出影响这些效应的关键GenAI特性及其边界条件,包括创业者经验、使用方式、个性特质与价值观。除理论贡献外,该框架为创业者战略使用GenAI并管理风险提供了实践指引。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Despite the growing use of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) in entrepreneurship, research on its impact remains fragmented. To address this limitation, we provide an integrative, entrepreneur-centered review of how GenAI influences entrepreneurs at each stage of the entrepreneurial process: (1) opportunity recognition and ideation, (2) opportunity evaluation and commitment, (3) resource assembly and mobilization, and (4) venture launch and growth. Based on our review, we propose the Empowerment-Entrapment Framework, which not only catalogs GenAI's benefits and costs throughout the entrepreneurial process, but also identifies potential trade-offs underlying GenAI's double-edged role. For example, GenAI may improve venture idea quality yet produce hallucinations and biases; boost entrepreneurial self-efficacy yet heighten overconfidence; increase functional breadth and self-sufficiency yet reduce prosociality; and enhance productivity yet diminish cognitive engagement, learning, and memory. We also identify features of GenAI that underlie these empowering and entrapping effects. Moreover, we explore boundary conditions that moderate GenAI's effects, including entrepreneurs' expertise, approaches to using GenAI, and personal traits and values. Beyond these theoretical contributions, our review and framework offer practical guidance for entrepreneurs seeking to use GenAI strategically while managing its risks.
