Generating authenticity in automated work.

Abstract

autonomous technologies, or presenting them with human-like qualities. We find strong evidence that human origin stories generate authenticity, but much less evidence that simple anthropomorphic cues do so to the same degree (Studies 1-3). Simply prompting people to consider human origins can also generate attributions of authenticity (Study 4), which translates into intended and recommended support for automated work (Study 5). We discuss how managers of organizations can implement automated systems in ways that encourage attributions of authenticity. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved).
