Building With AI: A Qualitative Study Of Tech Entrepreneurs' Innovation Strategies And Challenges 1: Doctoral School of Sociology, Univesity of Bucharest, Romania; 2: Faculty of Automatic Control and Computers, National University of Science and Technology POLITEHNICA Bucharest; 3: Faculty of Electronics and Telecommunications and National Institute of Innovations in Cybersecurity “CYBERCOR”, Technical University of Moldova, Moldova; 4: Department of Computers, Faculty of Automatic Control and Computers, National University of Science and Technology POLITEHNICA Bucharest, Romania This analysis is based on in-depth interviews with the creators of AI products, including Romanian developers and tech entrepreneurs. A central finding is the "Creator's Conundrum": developers use AI to become hyper-productive but are acutely aware that the same technology could devalue or render their own profession obsolete, especially at junior and mid-levels. They view AI as a sophisticated "meta-tool" for amplifying their skills—a "thinking partner" or a "tutor"—but exhibit a deep technical skepticism regarding its accuracy, leading to a consistent professional practice of verification. The study also identifies the "Creator's Burden," a heightened awareness among developers of the systemic risks their creations might pose, including massive environmental impact and the potential for large-scale disinformation. | |
