Description
Recent research shows that people tend to avoid relying on artificial intelligence (AI) when making decisions at work. Although previous studies have investigated the causes and effects of this phenomenon, the role of attitudes, which are considered as a crucial factor in biased decision-making, remains unexplored. To investigate whether and how attitudes toward AI influence decision-making in work-related situations, we developed and conducted a lab experiment in which 156 participants received AI advice on process improvement while performing a manufacturing task. Our results suggest that negative attitudes toward AI are associated with greater reluctance to accept AI advice, resulting in lower performance in work-related situations. Furthermore, we show that human involvement in the process of providing AI advice cannot mitigate the negative effects of strong negative attitudes.
