[PUBLISHED] The role of automation etiquette and task-criticality on performance, workload, automation reliance, and user confidence December 4, 2024
Abstract Previous research suggests good automation etiquette can yield positive effects on user performance, trust, automation reliance, and user confidence – especially in personified or anthropomorphized technologies. The current study examined the impact of automation etiquette and task-criticality in non-personified technology. The study used a computer-based automation task to examine good and bad automation etiquette […]
[PUBLISHED] Polite AI mitigates user susceptibility to AI hallucinations November 29, 2024
Pak, R., Rovira, E., & McLaughlin, A. C. (in press). Polite AI mitigates user susceptibility to AI hallucinations. Ergonomics. https://doi.org/10.1080/00140139.2024.2434604 Abstract With their increased capability, AI-based chatbots have become increasingly popular tools to help users answer complex queries. However, these chatbots may hallucinate, or generate incorrect but very plausible-sounding information, more frequently than previously thought. […]
