When AI Makes Us Less Human: The Robot Effect
Psych 🧠- 428/500
Hello reader,
AI is getting smarter, but could it be making us less human?
This research explores the unsettling possibility that as we embrace AI, we might inadvertently devalue our interactions with actual people.
What is it?
The paper investigates how exposure to autonomous agents, particularly those with socio-emotional capabilities, affects perceptions of humanness, both in the AI itself and in other people.
It examines whether this influence can lead to mistreatment in workplace settings.
Key Findings:
Perceiving high socio-emotional ability in AI can lead to humans being mistreated by fellow employees.
Socio-emotional ability, and not as much the high-intellect capabilities in AI influences this.
These perceptions happen in daily lives.

What do I need to know:
Be aware that we can be subconsciously less empathic towards one another due to high-intelligence AI.
Companies need to be aware that they're being held responsible in our minds and how we assign them.
