Human vs AI: Moral Preferences
Abstract
Since the presence of artificial intelligence (AI) is increasing, its ability to make moral decisions and the acceptance of those decisions by humans is of great research interest. This online study is a follow-up to a previous project. We will be using the same low- and high-stake moral dilemmas to investigate whether and to what amount participants prefer an artificial vs. a human agent making moral decisions. The role of personality traits (e.g., need for cognition) and attitudes towards robots/AI will be assessed.
