Abstract: Abstract-Thanks to the growing sophistication of artificial agent technologies, businesses will increasingly face decisions of whether to have a human employee or artificial agent perform a particular function. This makes it desirable to have a common temporal measure for comparing the work effort that human beings and artificial agents can apply to a role. Existing temporal measures of work effort are formulated to apply either to human employees (e.g., FTE and billable hours) or computer-based systems (e.g.,… Show more

“…When assessing the work effort of artificial understood agents as computer-based systems, the relevant time intervals to be taken into consideration range from the macrotemporal level of several years (i.e., the lifespan of a typical commercial artificial agent system as utilized within a business) down to the microtemporal level of around 17 milliseconds (i.e., the time needed to generate a single screen refresh) or less [Gladden 2014]. As Gunther notes, there is no need to consider much smaller time intervals such as a single CPU cycle [Gunther 2005] that do not have an immediate relation to the larger-scale processes that we describe as an agent's meaningful "work.…”

“…When assessing the work effort of human managers, the relevant time-scales are similar; the time intervals to be taken into consideration range from the macrotemporal level of several years (i.e., the length of time that a human employee typically spends working for a particular organization) down to the microtemporal level of around 50 milliseconds (i.e., the length of time needed to hear or speak a single phoneme or to consciously perceive a single coherent experience or event [Gladden 2014].…”
