Welfare consequences of human reactions to the use of generative AI

Determine the welfare consequences of human reactions to the use of generative artificial intelligence in social interaction, assessing how such reactions affect outcomes like fairness, trust, trustworthiness, cooperation, and coordination.

Background

The paper focuses on human reactions to generative AI within social interactions, distinct from prior work evaluating AI’s own behavior. The authors identify unresolved questions concerning whether and how human responses to AI involvement change welfare-relevant behaviors in canonical economic games, motivating their empirical design.
