Predicting personality or prejudice? Facial inference in the age of artificial intelligence.

Current opinion in psychology
Facial inference, a cornerstone of person perception, has traditionally been studied through human judgments about personality traits and abilities based on people's faces. Recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI) have introduced new dimension...

How perceived lack of benevolence harms trust of artificial intelligence management.

The Journal of applied psychology
As organizations continue to supplement and replace human management with artificial intelligence (AI), it is essential that we understand the factors that influence employees' trust in AI management. Across one preregistered field study, where we su...

The Importance of Being Consistent: Attribution of Mental States in Strategic Human-Robot Interactions.

Cyberpsychology, behavior and social networking
This article investigates the attribution of mental state (AMS) to an anthropomorphic robot by humans in a strategic interaction. We conducted an experiment in which human subjects are paired with either a human or an anthropomorphic robot to play an...

Children's animistic beliefs toward a humanoid robot and other objects.

Journal of experimental child psychology
This study examined children's beliefs about a humanoid robot by examining their behavioral and verbal responses. We investigated whether 3- and 5-year-old children would treat the humanoid robot gently along with other objects and tools with and wit...

Children's anthropomorphism of inanimate agents.

Wiley interdisciplinary reviews. Cognitive science
This review article examines the extant literature on animism and anthropomorphism in infants and young children. A substantial body of work indicates that both infants and young children have a broad concept of what constitutes a sentient agent and ...

Social perception of robots is shaped by beliefs about their minds.

Scientific reports
Roboticists often imbue robots with human-like physical features to increase the likelihood that they are afforded benefits known to be associated with anthropomorphism. Similarly, deepfakes often employ computer-generated human faces to attempt to c...

A deep new look at color.

The Behavioral and brain sciences
Bowers et al. counter deep neural networks (DNNs) as good models of human visual perception. From our color perspective we feel their view is based on three misconceptions: A misrepresentation of the state-of-the-art of color perception; the type of ...

Anthropomorphism-based causal and responsibility attributions to robots.

Scientific reports
People tend to expect mental capabilities in a robot based on anthropomorphism and often attribute the cause and responsibility for a failure in human-robot interactions to the robot. This study investigated the relationship between mind perception, ...

Trait attribution explains human-robot interactions.

The Behavioral and brain sciences
Clark and Fischer (C&F) claim that trait attribution has major limitations in explaining human-robot interactions. We argue that the trait attribution approach can explain the three issues posited by C&F. We also argue that the trait attribution appr...

The role of valence, dominance, and pitch in perceptions of artificial intelligence (AI) conversational agents' voices.

Scientific reports
There is growing concern that artificial intelligence conversational agents (e.g., Siri, Alexa) reinforce voice-based social stereotypes. Because little is known about social perceptions of conversational agents' voices, we investigated (1) the dimen...
