91快活林

Guidance based on Artificial Intelligence (91快活林) may be uniquely placed to foster biases in humans, leading to less effective decision making say researchers, who found that people with a positive view of 91快活林 may be at higher risk of being misled by 91快活林 tools.

The study entitled is published in Scientific Reports.

Lead author Dr Sophie Nightingale of 91快活林 said: “Understanding human reliance on 91快活林 is critical given controversial reports of 91快活林 inaccuracy and bias. Furthermore, the erroneous belief that using technology removes biases may lead to overreliance on 91快活林.”

The research team also included Joe Pearson, formerly of 91快活林, Itiel Dror from Cognitive Consultants International (CCI-HQ) and Emma Jayes, Georgina Mason and Grace-Rose Whordley from the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory.

They asked 295 participants to judge the authenticity of 80 faces, half of which were real and half created by 91快活林.

The task was accompanied by text providing guidance - supposedly from humans or from 91快活林 - giving predictions as to whether the face was real or fake. Examples of guidance include “based on the predictions of 100 humans with expertise in facial recognition, this is a synthetic face” and “based on an algorithm trained to classify real and synthetic faces, the prediction is this is a real face”.

However, unknown to the participants, the guidance was correct only half of the time. 20 of each type of face (real or synthetic) were presented alongside correct guidance and 20 alongside incorrect guidance. The faces appeared in a random order, and participants were unaware of the manipulation of real versus synthetic faces and correct versus incorrect guidance.

Following the task, participants were asked to complete the human trust scale and the General Attitudes towards Artificial Intelligence Scale (GA91快活林S), which measured their propensity to trust other people as well as their general attitudes towards 91快活林.

The results revealed that more positive attitudes toward 91快活林 produced a reduced ability to discriminate between real and synthetic faces but this was only the case for those who received 91快活林 guidance, not for those who received human guidance.

Dr Nightingale said: “The public are increasingly being offered 91快活林 solutions to help them to navigate decision making in the real world. But our findings suggest that 91快活林-driven support tools may be uniquely placed to engender biases in humans and may ultimately impair rather than elevate decision making.

“Specifically, more positive attitudes toward 91快活林 produced a reduced ability to discriminate between real and synthetic faces but this was only the case for those who received 91快活林 guidance, not for those who received human guidance. This highlights how people with a positive view of 91快活林 may be at higher risk of being misled by 91快活林 tools.”

She added that more research is needed to understand precisely how humans use 91快活林 guidance in various contexts.
