Abstract
By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Robotics & Machine Learning Daily News Daily News-New research on robotics is the subjec t of a new report. According to news reporting originating from Vienna, Austria, by NewsRx correspondents, research stated, "Humans increasingly interact with s ocial robots and artificial intelligence (AI) powered digital assistants in thei r daily lives." The news journalists obtained a quote from the research from University of Vienn a: "These machines are usually designed to evoke attributions of social agency a nd trustworthiness in the human user. Growing research on human-machine-interact ions (HMI) shows that young children are highly susceptible to design features s uggesting human-like social agency and experience. Older children and adults, in contrast, are less likely to over attribute agency and experience to machines. At the same time, they tend to over-trust machines as informants more than young er children. Based on these findings, we argue that research directly comparing the effects of HMI design features on different age groups, including infants an d young children is urgently needed." According to the news reporters, the research concluded: "We call for evidence-b ased evaluation of HMI design and for consideration of the specific needs and su sceptibilities of children when interacting with social robots and AI-based tech nology."
