Features like prosociality and human-like bodies significantly impact moral consideration for artificial intelligences.
Kivonat
The study explores how different features of artificial intelligences influence moral consideration. Participants evaluated AIs varying in autonomy, emotion expression, cooperation, and more. Prosocial features like emotion expression and moral judgment had the strongest effects on increasing moral consideration. The study highlights the importance of understanding how humans react to various AI features to design ethical AI systems effectively.
Statisztikák
All 11 features increased how morally wrong participants considered it to harm the AIs.
The largest effects were from human-like physical bodies and prosociality.
Autonomy should increase the perception of AIs as human-like, positively affecting moral consideration.
Having a human-like physical body increased moral consideration significantly.
Emotion expression was predictive of higher moral consideration for AIs.
Cooperation with humans also led to increased warmth and competence perceptions in robots.
Avoiding damage indicated capacity for harm and negative mental experiences, leading to higher moral consideration.
Intelligence was found to reduce destructive behavior towards robots when told by an experimenter.
Language capacities in AIs were associated with positive outcomes relevant to moral consideration.
Moral judgment influenced participants' choices about which AI it would be more morally wrong to harm significantly.
Idézetek
"People tend to show different levels of moral consideration for the welfare and interests of different entities."
"The present study estimates the relative effects of 11 features of AIs on their moral consideration using a conjoint experiment."
"Designers may want to implement features like human-like bodies and prosociality in AIs only when they aim to mimic human-human interaction."
