Haven't been here in a while but we have a new paper out that is relevant to a lot of current #AI interaction discussion. We find that people differently judge other people's goals when they get advice from algorithms vs. humans. psyarxiv.com/bp24r/ <- 📜 Thread ⬇️

📚 Our new research reveals that when people seek advice from algorithms, observers attribute the algorithm's primary goal to the advice seekers. This can lead to skewed perceptions of motives compared to when advice is sought from humans. Implications for fairness & #HCI. #AI 🤖

And now our #AI advice paper is published in International Journal of Human-Computer Interaction: tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

Following the crowd (majority rule) is a pretty good strategy. But what about in those cases where the crowd tends to get it wrong? In a new preprint, we tackle this issue. See below! 📜psyarxiv.com/7vykm/📜

Super excited to see this paper out. We use game theory, lab experiments, and cognitive psychology, to study response time in strategic exchanges (e.g. bargaining). Fast rejections signal a bad deal and so result in a better followup offer. So, bargainers try to reject quickly.

Are you in ☀️ Vienna attending #SPUDM? Tomorrow after lunch I will be presenting this 👇 game show paper (13:15 session in room TC 2.02). Will squeeze in a video in this 11 mins talk, I promise ✌️. Happy to meet and talk! SPUDMConference

🐶New preprint w/ Emir Efendić🐶 Across 4 preregistered studies we find that consumers distrust and avoid sharing economy sellers who do not display a personal photo. osf.io/preprints/psya… A 🧵:

The hardest thing to explain to non-academics is how different technical rigor is across fields. Here's (yet another) article in PNAS, of course handled by Fiske, of course in psych, that we would have desk rejected. Paper is "Can Names Shape Facial Appearance?" 1/n

Been away from socials, but want to mention a new project that I'm really proud of. In this pre-print we present evidence for a simple solution on how to find accurate answers to open-ended questions: select the person fastest to respond (thread ⬇️) papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…

🥂 New working paper! 🍾 “Follow the fast: A simple algorithm for extracting wisdom from crowds” Summarizing thread by one of my coauthors below 👇

When crowdsourcing a solution to an open-ended question, you could do worse than apply the ‘Follow the fast’ heuristic—research by Philippe Van de Calseyde et al finds the quickest answer is the most likely to be the most accurate (more so, the larger the crowd): buff.ly/4gG93lj

Vamos, Rafa Nadal!   As you get ready to graduate from tennis, I’ve got a few things to share before I maybe get emotional.   Let’s start with the obvious: you beat me—a lot. More than I managed to beat you. You challenged me in ways no one else could. On clay, it felt like I
