Suspicious of AI? Perceived autonomy and interdependence predict AI-related conspiracy beliefs.

The British journal of social psychology
As artificial intelligence (AI) evolves, conspiracy theories have emerged that authorities will use AI to oppress humanity, or AI itself will. We propose that perceived high autonomy and low interdependence of AI increase AI-related conspiracy belief...

Judging robot ability: How people form implicit and explicit impressions of robot competence.

Journal of experimental psychology. General
Robots' proliferation throughout society offers many opportunities and conveniences. However, our ability to effectively employ these machines relies heavily on our perceptions of their competence. In six studies (N = 2,660), participants played a co...

Constrained Choice: Children's and Adults' Attribution of Choice to a Humanoid Robot.

Cognitive science
Young children, like adults, understand that human agents can flexibly choose different actions in different contexts, and they evaluate these agents based on such choices. However, little is known about children's tendencies to attribute the capacit...

Eye contact during joint attention with a humanoid robot modulates oscillatory brain activity.

Social cognitive and affective neuroscience
Eye contact established by a human partner has been shown to affect various cognitive processes of the receiver. However, little is known about humans' responses to eye contact established by a humanoid robot. Here, we aimed at examining humans' osci...

Exploring the Influential Factors of Consumers' Willingness Toward Using COVID-19 Related Chatbots: An Empirical Study.

Medical archives (Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina)
BACKGROUND: Consumers' willingness to use health chatbots can eventually determine if the adoption of health chatbots will succeed in delivering healthcare services for combating COVID-19. However, little research to date has empirically explored inf...

The Ethics of Socially Assistive Robots in Aged Care. A Focus Group Study With Older Adults in Flanders, Belgium.

The journals of gerontology. Series B, Psychological sciences and social sciences
OBJECTIVES: Socially assistive robots (SARs) need to be studied from older adults' perspective, given their predicted future ubiquity in aged-care settings. Current ethical discourses on SARs in aged care are uninformed by primary stakeholders' ethic...

Robots as Malevolent Moral Agents: Harmful Behavior Results in Dehumanization, Not Anthropomorphism.

Cognitive science
A robot's decision to harm a person is sometimes considered to be the ultimate proof of it gaining a human-like mind. Here, we contrasted predictions about attribution of mental capacities from moral typecasting theory, with the denial of agency from...

Examining joint attention with the use of humanoid robots-A new approach to study fundamental mechanisms of social cognition.

Psychonomic bulletin & review
This article reviews methods to investigate joint attention and highlights the benefits of new methodological approaches that make use of the most recent technological developments, such as humanoid robots for studying social cognition. After reviewi...

Social robotics and the modulation of social perception and bias.

Philosophical transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series B, Biological sciences
The field of social robotics offers an unprecedented opportunity to probe the process of impression formation and the effects of identity-based stereotypes (e.g. about gender or race) on social judgements and interactions. We present the concept of f...

Deep neural networks are more accurate than humans at detecting sexual orientation from facial images.

Journal of personality and social psychology
We show that faces contain much more information about sexual orientation than can be perceived or interpreted by the human brain. We used deep neural networks to extract features from 35,326 facial images. These features were entered into a logistic...
