✨How does political orientation related to trust in AI? ✨ Previous research was mixed - we show: it depends on an ideological match! (e.g., Think an AI is liberal? Conservatives trust less, liberals more). Maybe not surprising, but important to keep in mind when trying to explain trust in AI! 🤖

"Hi, I am ConsBot, the conservative AI chatbot." Would you trust this bot? As #AI becomes politicized, we found strong "ideological fit effects": people trust bots & follow advice when the AI aligns with their political camp: Preprint w. @marlephie.bsky.social et al: osf.io/preprints/ps...

In my talks about replication crisis (not reproducibility) I always used as attention-catcher that we cannot afford this roughly 50% replicability in human sciences since someone like Trump could use this to discredit everything and push their agenda. I hate that this prediction came true.

Recent research shows that AI can durably reduce belief in conspiracies. But does this work b/c the AI is good at producing evidence, or b/c ppl really trust AI? In a new working paper, we show that the effect persists even if the person thinks they're talking to a human: osf.io/preprints/ps... 🧵

A four-panel meme featuring Gru from Despicable Me presenting a plan.

    In the first panel, Gru is smiling confidently while pointing at a presentation board that says: "Publish paper on correlation between trust in science & protection intentions."
    In the second panel, Gru continues to present, now with a scheming expression, and the board reads: "Run new studies to prove causality."
    In the third panel, Gru looks pleased as he points to the board, which now says: "No evidence for causal effects."
    In the final panel, Gru looks confused and disappointed, staring at the same board that again states: "No evidence for causal effects."
