Artificial Intelligence, Trust, and Perceptions of Agency

Author: Vanneste, Bart S.; Puranam, Phanish Description: Modern artificial intelligence (AI) technologies based on deep learning architectures are often perceived as agentic to varying degrees–typically, as more agentic than other technologies but less agentic than humans. We theorize how different levels of perceived agency of AI affect human trust in AI. We do so by investigating three causal pathways. First, an AI (and its designer) perceived as more agentic will be seen as more capable, and therefore will be perceived as more trustworthy. Second, the more the AI is perceived…

Is artificial intelligence a good servant but a bad master?

Author: Lakhtakia, Akhlesh; Lakhtakia, Natalya S. Description: Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly moving from a specialized research topic into a widely deployed general-purpose technology, driven by advances in transformer-based architectures, convincing enough productivity gains, large private investment, geopolitical competition, and expanding educational adoption. AI comprises two distinct sets of methodologies: (i) predictive AI, which is grounded in statistical inference and aims to model measurable physical reality, and (ii) generative AI, which produces plausible synthetic content without intrinsic verification against physical reality. Whereas predictive AI can strengthen human decision-making through rigorously…

The impact of digital technology, social media, and artificial intelligence on cognitive functions: a review

Author: Shanmugasundaram, Mathura; Tamilarasu, Arunkumar Description: In our modern society, digital devices, social media platforms, and artificial intelligence (AI) tools have become integral components of our daily lives, profoundly intertwined with our daily activities. These technologies have undoubtedly brought convenience, connectivity, and speed, making our lives easier and more efficient. However, their influence on our brain function and cognitive abilities cannot be ignored. This review aims to explore both the positive and negative impacts of these technologies on crucial cognitive functions, including attention, memory, addiction, novelty-seeking and perception, decision-making, and…

Who Says Artificial Intelligence Is Stealing Our Jobs?

Author: Dahlin, Eric Description: The author investigates survey respondents’ reports of job displacement due to artificial intelligence (AI) and concerns about AI-related job displacement. Accordingly, the author examines explanations of AI exceptionalism–the view that AI technology is unique and will have different job-related outcomes compared with previous technological advances–and the vulnerability of underprivileged groups. The findings support the AI exceptionalism view, indicating that white-collar occupations and those with technical experience are more likely to be at risk. The study also reveals that concerns about job loss are widespread, but those…

Beware of Metacognitive Laziness: Effects of Generative Artificial Intelligence on Learning Motivation, Processes, and Performance

Author: Fan, Y., Tang, L., Le, H., Shen, K., Tan, S., Zhao, Y., Shen, Y., Li, X., & Gasevic, D. Description: With the continuous development of technological and educational innovation, learners nowadays can obtain a variety of support from agents such as teachers, peers, education technologies, and recently, generative artificial intelligence such as ChatGPT. The concept of hybrid intelligence is still at a nascent stage, and how learners can benefit from a symbiotic relationship with various agents such as AI, human experts and intelligent learning systems is still unknown. The…

Emotions in human and artificial intelligence

Author: Martinez-Miranda, J.; Aldea, A. Description: Intelligence and emotions differentiate humans from animals. Emotion is part of a persons behaviour and certain feelings can affect his/her performance, emotions can even prevent a person from producing an intelligent outcome. Therefore, when a computer aims to emulate human behaviour, not only should this computer think and reason, but it should also be able to show emotions. This paper presents a review of recent research that shows the importance of the emotions in human intelligence. This paper also presents the research that has…
