Mind and Machines: The Psychology of Artificial Intelligence (June 22)
Description
Opportunities to interact with artificial intelligence have proliferated in recent years, but our understanding of how people approach and perceive these interactions is still developing. This session explores cutting edge research on the psychology of human-AI interactions. In particular, we will delve into people's social and moral perceptions of AI, addressing questions such as: Do people perceive AI as closer to humans or machines? How do people perceive the morality of AI versus humans in decision-making? And what are the consequences of these perceptions for AI adoption and our own behavior? (Offered in the morning and afternoon on June 22.)
