Recent studies comparing AI-inferred personality to personality derived from traditional assessments have found noticeable differences between the two (meta-analyses have found mean correlations of 0.3 between AI-inferred personality and personality from surveys). One important but unanswered question is how users perceive their personality derived from both methods. Which do users perceive to be more accurate, and more satisfying to use? To answer this question, we used both methods to conduct personality assessments of 595 participants and then asked users how well the two sets of results fit them, as well as their satisfaction and intention to use them. Participants reported that both results fit them equally well, even though the two methods reported different personality scores. Users were equally satisfied with both methods but were more likely to use the survey, likely because it took less time. Our findings imply that both methods measure different aspects of user personality, and both may be useful. We discuss the pros and cons of AI-inferred versus traditional, self-reported personality and indicate future research directions of AI-inferred personality assessment and the implications of their use for real-world applications.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100324,"journal":{"name":"Computers in Human Behavior: Artificial Humans","volume":"2 1","pages":"Article 100057"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2949882124000173/pdfft?md5=24ef3c6048e20de6068aaad37820dbc8&pid=1-s2.0-S2949882124000173-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140000251","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results of 194 valid questionnaires revealed that perception of AI directly impacts organizational attractiveness only for job applicants. Moreover, it seems from the findings that both fairness and anxiety explain the mediating impacts between perceptions of AI and attractiveness. On the other hand, the results showed that perception of AI doesn't directly impact corporate attractiveness among customers. However, it can impact communication quality dimensions among them.

Although AI-aided material design holds great promise for some applications, whether it has surpassed human creativity remains uncertain. The aim of the current study was to compare the divergent exploration capacity of AI with that of humans on a material design task. Human participants were asked to find a high-performance lubricant molecule under searching conditions comparable to a state-of-the-art AI system. Results indicated that, on average, AI was able to find significantly better lubricant molecules. However, the best molecule found by AI fell short of the best molecule found by a human participant. Furthermore, the structural characteristics of the molecules found by AI and human participants differed significantly. These findings suggest that a state-of-the-art AI system is capable of surpassing human divergent exploration capacity in material design, as in other fields in which AI has advanced. Nevertheless, our results also demonstrate that human intelligence and AI can play complementary roles in covering a broader search space.

This study is the first to investigate the interplay between practitioner judgments and AI recommendations in MH diagnostic decision-making. Using a between-subjects vignette design, the study deployed a mock AI system to provide information about patient triage and assessments to a sample of MH professionals and psychology students with a strong understanding of assessments and triage procedures. Findings showed that participants were more inclined to trust and accept AI recommendations when they aligned with their initial diagnoses and professional intuition. Moreover, those claiming higher expertise demonstrated increased skepticism when AI's suggestions deviated from their professional judgment. The study underscores that MH practitioners neither show unwavering trust in, nor complete adherence to AI, but rather exhibit confirmation bias, predominantly favoring suggestions mirroring their pre-existing beliefs. These insights suggest that while practitioners can potentially correct faulty AI recommendations, the utility of implementing debiased AI to counteract practitioner biases warrants additional investigation.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100324,"journal":{"name":"Computers in Human Behavior: Artificial Humans","volume":"2 1","pages":"Article 100066"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2949882124000264/pdfft?md5=bafd7fff021f0f74d35c3c67faab7274&pid=1-s2.0-S2949882124000264-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140344694","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

MacDorman","doi":"10.1016/j.chbah.2024.100065","DOIUrl":"10.1016/j.chbah.2024.100065","url":null,"abstract":"<div><p>Gray and Wegner (2012) proposed that when robots look human, their appearance prompts attributions of experience, including sensations and feelings, which is uncanny. This theory, confusingly termed <em>mind perception</em>, differs from perceptual theories of the uncanny valley in that the robots' eeriness is not stimulus-driven. To explore this seminal theory, we conducted a meta-regression analysis of 10 experiments and a (de)humanization experiment. In the first part, experiments were identified in the literature that manipulated artificial entity's experience using descriptions. However, experiments with no observable stimuli yielded larger effects for experience and eeriness than those with robots and virtual reality characters. This finding undermines a theory that purports to explain how a robot's human likeness causes eeriness. Further, a second issue concerns Gray and Wegner's protocol based on a vignette design. Reading about an entity with experience activates thoughts that may not be activated when encountering it, and these thoughts may increase its eeriness. Therefore, the paper's second part focuses on an experiment we conducted with a novel humanization–dehumanization protocol. Participants' attitudes on robots' similarity to humans were gradually shifted to manipulate robots' perceived humanness, experience, and agency. However, the manipulation's effect on eeriness and coldness was mostly nonsignificant or counter to prediction. Differences in the robots' physical appearance had a much larger effect on their eeriness and coldness. In fact, as a mediator, experience mitigated the stimulus's overall effect of increasing eeriness. These results favor perceptual theories, rather than mind perception, in explaining the uncanny valley.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100324,"journal":{"name":"Computers in Human Behavior: Artificial Humans","volume":"2 1","pages":"Article 100065"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2949882124000252/pdfft?md5=933910a7de88849b09ef93ee4b0bc18b&pid=1-s2.0-S2949882124000252-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140408191","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Due to the sensitive nature of care, privacy concerns play a significant role in determining robot utility and adoption. While HRI research has explored some dimensions of privacy for robots in general, to our knowledge, no prior work has empirically studied how human-like robot design affects people's privacy and utility perceptions of robots across different healthcare contexts and tasks. We conducted a 3 × 3 × 3 study (n = 239) to understand these relationships, varying robot Human Likeness (HL) (low, medium, and high) and scenario/task type (hospital waiting room/robot check-in support, hospital patient room/robot mobility support, home care/robot neurorehabilitation support) via a mixed between-within subjects design. To our knowledge, this is one of the first studies that operationalizes complex constructs of privacy, healthcare, and HL across multiple realistic healthcare contexts, with a high degree of cognitive fidelity. Our results suggest the tasks and contexts in which privacy is considered in healthcare contexts with robots is more impactful than other factors like robot HL appearance. In particular, some settings include more complex tradeoffs between privacy and utility for robots than others. For example, HRI researchers and practitioners who want to build healthcare robots intended for the home may encounter the greatest challenges for balancing privacy risks. Finally, for the community, we demonstrate that design fiction animations can be a useful way to facilitate cognitive fidelity for supporting studies in HRI and serving as a bridge between narrative methods and the use of real-world robots.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100324,"journal":{"name":"Computers in Human Behavior: Artificial Humans","volume":"2 1","pages":"Article 100039"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2949882123000397/pdfft?md5=831fe809228a3a27bced0dff010c54e9&pid=1-s2.0-S2949882123000397-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139194914","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
