Artificial Intelligence

Getting advice from an automated chatbot might accidentally change how you perceive the passage of time. A new psychological study suggests that waiting for an artificial intelligence agent makes future delays feel longer, leading to highly impatient consumer choices.

A recent study involving over 27,000 participants reveals that people consistently give lower ratings to poems and stories when told a computer program wrote them. This negative reaction stems from readers viewing machine-generated art as less authentic.

When job seekers know artificial intelligence is screening their applications, they alter their behavior to appear more logical and less emotional. In a series of experiments, researchers found this shift can distort hiring outcomes and mask authentic traits.

The AI helping you write might be secretly rewriting your mind. New research reveals that biased autocomplete suggestions subtly manipulate our opinions on major societal issues—and alarming data shows we don't even realize it's happening.

A new study reveals that highly personalized messages and interactive digital debates do not change voters' minds any better than a single generic argument. Generative artificial intelligence is helping scientists challenge decades of academic theories about political persuasion.

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.

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 The resulting pictures successfully trigger specific feelings and offer a highly customizable alternative to the outdated photographs traditionally used in psychological experiments.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.
