Can you count on a calculator? The role of agency and affect in judgments of robots as moral agents
ABSTRACT Robots are becoming an integral part of society, and might soon take on roles involving making morally relevant decisions. In a pre-registered experiment (n = 184), we investigated which factors modulate the extent to which we trust a robot to make a moral choice. Specifically, the effects of anthropomorphic appearance and anthropomorphic agency and affect attributions were assessed. Participants were presented with moral dilemmas in which the individual having to make a decision was a humanoid or mechanical robot. Each robot was described in vignettes in which they were attributed with agency and/or affective states. Subsequently, participants’ implicit moral trust in the robot was measured, as well as explicit trust, perceived capability of the robot, and the extent to which they felt the robot was responsible for its choice. Both agency and affective state attributions were found to impact participants’ implicit and explicit trust as well as the perceived capability of the robot. Moreover, across conditions, mechanical robots were trusted significantly more than humanoid robots to take moral choices.
期刊介绍:
Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) is a multidisciplinary journal defining and reporting
on fundamental research in human-computer interaction. The goal of HCI is to be a journal
of the highest quality that combines the best research and design work to extend our
understanding of human-computer interaction. The target audience is the research
community with an interest in both the scientific implications and practical relevance of
how interactive computer systems should be designed and how they are actually used. HCI is
concerned with the theoretical, empirical, and methodological issues of interaction science
and system design as it affects the user.
