Conversational AI, like Amazon’s Alexa, are often marketed as tools assisting owners, but humans anthropomorphize computers, suggesting that they bond with their devices beyond an owner-tool relationship. Little empirical research has studied human-AI relationships besides relational proxies such as trust. We explored the relationships people form...

The Titanium Trust Report is a mixed methods analysis with 111 participants from heterogeneous backgrounds and expertise to investigate trust and artificial intelligence. The qualitative section explores fear and skepticism towards artificial intelligence. 14 sub-categories were identified, like fear of robots or AI in healthcare. AI in warfare, lo...

Künstliche Intelligenz (KI) beeinflusst die Art und Weise, wie Organisationen Arbeit und Zusammenarbeit strukturieren. Unklar ist jedoch, welche Rolle die Führung bei der Gestaltung der digitalen Transformation übernehmen muss. In diesem Beitrag argumentieren wir für einen breit angelegten und transdisziplinären Dialog als Mittel der Wahl, um KI un...

Trustworthy" artificial intelligence (AI) is a globally discussed topic. Trust, distinct but related to trustworthiness, is considered a critical success factor in human-AI-interactions. However, the role of the trusted "partner' remains unclear: Is an AI system or the designers of AI the trusted peer in this relation, and does it even matter? Sinc...

In the emerging field of voice shopping with quasi-sales agents like Amazon's Alexa, we investigated the influence of perceived human-AI relationships (i.e., authority ranking, market pricing, peer bonding) on (voice-)shopping intentions. In our cross-sectional survey among experienced voice shoppers, we tested hypotheses specifically differentiati...

Understanding the impact of robot errors in child-robot-interactions (CRI) is critical, as current technological systems are still limited and may randomly present a variety of mistakes during interactions with children. In this study we manipulate a task-based error of a NAO robot during a semi-autonomous computational thinking task implemented wi...

No trust, no use? Oft wird Vertrauen als kritischer Erfolgsfaktor propagiert, wenn es um die Nutzung von neuen Technologien geht, vor allem wenn es sich um intelligente Systeme, sogenannte KI (Künstliche Intelligenz) handelt. Diese finden nämlich immer mehr Eingang in die heutige Gesellschaft, sowohl im privaten (z. B. Einkaufen mit Amazons KI-basi...

Background: Many cases of how AI-based technologies maintain and reproduce inequality caught much attention in research and practice lately. The justified focus on the dark side of AI may cause reluctance towards exploring how AI-based technologies can be applied to increase gender equality. This report aims to address the lack of systematic knowle...

There are different ways to develop voice user interfaces. People without programming skills can use Voiceflow to develop their first voice project. Voiceflow is suitable for simple and more complicated voice projects. It can be used for Alexa Skills and Google Actions.

Voice user interfaces are becoming increasingly popular. In addition to technical and functional aspects, brand personas play a role in the design process. A brand persona is a conceptual representation of an immaterial voice application and influences acceptance and user behavior. Embedded in the overall design process, the examination of brand pe...

Trust is often promoted as a success factor for new technologies. There are fundamentally wrong questions that try to implement a "Trust Washing". These include "Does the user trust our AI", "How can we increase trust" and "Should society trust AI". These questions must be asked differently to achieve the true goal.

Automation aids are increasingly used to increase safety or productivity. Faulty human-automation relationships have led to over-or under reliance on automation aids and thus to fatal consequences. Researchers propose the Perfect Automation Schema (PAS) as an individual difference variable influencing trust in and reliance on automation. PAS is def...

Due to the smoldering COVID-19 pandemic more and more meetings, trainings, and lectures are taking place online. Among others, Zoom has become a very popular solution. Attackers are increasingly targeting it. Various measures can be taken to prevent meetings from being compromised or taken over.

This report offers a theoretical background on trust, outcomes of a workshop on trust and personal reflections of the author. Confusion about terminologies (trust, reliance, trustworthiness) is prevailing and impedes progress. Trustworthiness as a property is distinct from but related to trust as an attitude. Interpersonal trust can be partially tr...

Lethal autonomous weapons systems (LAWS) are also called killer robots. LAWS should be able to detect, select and destroy a target without any human oversight (inherent AI). There are strong opinions for and against LAWS, no binding regulations exist so far. With greater technology, comes greater individual responsibility for each and every person.

AI is a dual-use technology that can be used for both civilian and military purposes or alternatively with good or bad intentions. Tech giants are in a precarious position where their technology is being used more and more for military purposes, against the values of users and employees. Responsibility grows on all sides, behavioral alternatives be...

The track AI & Leadership aims to discuss implications of artificial intelligence on organizational behavior, with a specific focus on leadership. How does AI influence leadership, human interactions and social relationships at the workplace? Session/ Goal: Goal of this session is twofold: First we aim to set a theoretical fundament to understand...

AI causes motivational conflicts in many people. Attitude to AI influences consumer and user behavior. Persuasion and compliance can influence attitudes and behavior. Reciprocity, obligation, scarcity, and modeling are crucial influencing techniques. Resistance to AI is mainly due to irritation and reactance.

KEYPOINTS Cognition comprises mental process of the human brain Artificial Intelligence tries to mimic these processes to solve complex problems and handle massive amounts of data Serial vs. parallel and controlled vs. automated processes are the basis of cognitive sciences Logic, probability theory and heuristics represent the pillars of theory fo...

Awake consciousness comprises the complexities of perception, attention and functions of information processing. Artificial intelligence integrates machine consciousness research regarding existence and framework development. Processes, functions, benefits as well as ethical and legal implications are in the center of scientific discourse. Demystif...

The Interdisciplinary Artificial Intelligence Quotient Scale (iA-IQS) is designed for testing AI solutions. A standardized procedure is used to test and measure performance in seven different categories. We have developed a sophisticated framework to automate this analysis. It can be used to test products extensively and efficiently to assess their...

Trust as one critical success factor for AI adoption. Hype, complexity, and monopolism prevent trust in AI. A systemic approach investigates the concepts of trust from various perspectives: person, process, environment and time. Competence and reliability as most important trust factors. Development of the A-IQ to foster trust in AI. The A-IQ is an...

2019 will be the year of (AI) enlightenment, which will produce fact-based statements and clearer definitional demarcations. The focus will be on ethics, privacy, security, open science, interdisciplinarity, internationality and narrowly defined, practical applications. The role of privacy and security, and their demarcation criteria in the context...

Humanity is more than ever confronted with Artificial Intelligence (AI), yet it is still challenging to find common ground. By adopting the term intelligence, AI has inherited a myriad of issues from the history of psychological intelligence research. Our study aims to understand, measure, compare and track changes of AI capabilities. From that, an...
