Artificial Intelligence

A recent study in PNAS Nexus suggests that reading history summaries generated by artificial intelligence can subtly shift your political opinions. Even when factually accurate, chatbots carry hidden biases that influence how people view the world.

A recent experiment provides evidence that relying on artificial intelligence to study tends to reduce how much information students remember weeks later.

When people know they are interacting with artificial intelligence in social or financial exchanges, they become less trusting and cooperative. However, hiding the algorithm’s involvement leads to normal behavior, complicating calls for mandatory transparency in tech.

Despite media narratives about "P(doom)" and robotic takeovers, a new study reveals that the general public is actually quite optimistic about artificial intelligence and its potential impact on society.

Researchers have developed a new method for creating emotional images using artificial intelligence. The resulting pictures successfully trigger specific feelings and offer a highly customizable alternative to the outdated photographs traditionally used in psychological experiments.

Recent research suggests fine-tuning AI models for gender equity can accidentally cause extreme moral inconsistencies. For example, models consistently reject harassing a woman to stop an apocalypse but are surprisingly more accepting of objectively worse harms, like torture.

People often isolate themselves in online information bubbles. A new study suggests that balanced AI news chatbots provide a trusted source of diverse news, appealing heavily to readers who typically distrust mainstream media narratives.

A new study reveals that advanced artificial intelligence companions can alleviate internal distress and boost your mood. However, this digital comfort comes with a steep price, causing users to withdraw from their real-life friends and family.

When researchers asked five artificial intelligence programs to create weight management meals for adolescents, the software severely underestimated basic calorie needs. The digital plans also failed to provide the proper balance of carbohydrates and fats.

You might think using artificial intelligence to prepare for an appointment shows initiative. Instead, a recent study reveals that human professionals feel insulted by the comparison, causing them to subconsciously withdraw effort from tech-savvy clients.

Despite an impressive vocabulary, artificial intelligence often fails to accurately analyze scientific statements. A new study reveals that popular text generators frequently contradict themselves when asked the exact same question multiple times.

A recent study published in Consciousness and Cognition suggests that the human mind treats artificial agents much like real people. Working with an active digital partner tends to lower our conscious responsibility while heightening our unconscious action tracking.

A recent study published in the Archives of Sexual Behavior suggests that artificial intelligence could help men facing chronic singlehood. Researchers found that practicing romantic skills with a guided conversational program reduced feelings of loneliness and psychological distress.

Researchers have developed a collaborative brain-robot interface for people with severe motor impairments. Their findings suggest that a "shared autonomy" approach provides the best balance of task success, ease of use, and personal independence.

Most people struggle to tell real faces from computer-generated ones. However, a British Journal of Psychology study provides evidence that highly skilled face recognizers have a slight advantage because they subconsciously detect unnatural facial averageness.
