Abstract

ABSTRACT Artificial intelligence (AI) technology has created the possibility of a machine agent serving as a relationship partner. Though this may sound like a radical idea, this type of technology is already available. To understand this new and unique phenomenon, the present study investigates perceptions of an AI romantic partner in a serial multiple mediator model. Based on data collected from male, undergraduate students, the study finds that the perceived social presence of an AI romantic partner leads to greater perceived realism of interacting with the AI, which fosters more favorable attitudes toward the AI. Finally, more favorable attitudes lead to greater intentions to adopt the AI. Collectively, the findings suggest the need to further investigate how people perceive personalized AI agents in relation to their personal and social life.

调查社交存在对收养人工智能恋人的意图的重要性
摘要人工智能技术创造了机器代理作为关系伙伴的可能性。尽管这听起来像是一个激进的想法,但这种类型的技术已经可用。为了理解这一新的独特现象,本研究在一个系列多重中介模型中调查了人工智能浪漫伴侣的感知。基于从男性本科生中收集的数据,该研究发现,人工智能浪漫伴侣的社交存在会使人们对与人工智能互动的真实感更强,从而培养出对人工智能更有利的态度。最后,更有利的心态会使人们更倾向于采用人工智能,研究结果表明,有必要进一步研究人们如何看待个性化人工智能代理与他们的个人和社会生活的关系。
