Examining Human Reliance on Artificial Intelligence in Decision Making

Synopsis

N=295 study judging 80 real/AI-synthesized faces alongside guidance (correct only half the time) labeled as from humans or AI. Participants with more positive attitudes toward AI showed poorer discriminability between real and synthetic faces under AI guidance; human guidance did not show the analogous attitude-conditioned effect. Argues for re-examining the assumption that AI guidance is neutral.
