Artificial Intelligence Narcissism Enhances Human-Agent Collaborative Innovation Willingness and Its Mechanisms
The rapid development of artificial intelligence(AI)has underscored the necessity of human-agent collaboration.However,collaboration between humans and intelligent agents in the domain of innovation continues to encounter numerous challenges.AI exhibiting narcissistic traits may offer a solution to this dilemma.Two simulation experiments were conducted to manipulate AI with high/low narcissism and to examine how it influences individuals'perceived creativity,perceived emotional capacity,and human-agent collaborative innovation willingness to AI.The results showed that:1)AI narcissism enhanced individuals'perceived creativity,perceived emotional capacity,and human-agent collaborative innovation willingness to AI.2)Individuals'perceived creativity and perceived emotional capacity parallelly mediated the relationship between AI narcissism and human-agent collaborative innovation willingness.The findings demonstrate the positive role of AI narcissism,which provides empirical support for the sub-component structure of human-agent inner compatibility theory,as well as offers practical guidance for utilizing AI narcissistic traits to promote human-agent collaborative innovation.
