Prolific Data May Misestimate Some AI Attitudes Compared to a Nationally Representative Sample The Artificial Intelligence, Morality, and Sentience (AIMS) survey measures the moral and social perception of different types of artificial intelligences (AIs), particularly sentient AIs.

Prolific is a valuable resource for social scientists, but we found big differences in direct comparison to Ipsos nationally representative data. As we race to understand complex new human-AI interaction dynamics, we should be mindful of study limitations: www.sentienceinstitute.org/aims-survey-...

The AI Double Standard: Why We Judge All AI for One Bot’s Mistakes By Katerina Manoli, Janet Pauketat, and Jacy Reese Anthis

When one AI misbehaves, do we hold all AI accountable? New research by @sentienceinstitute.bsky.social @kmanoli.bsky.social @jacyanthis.bsky.social shows that people blame all AI for just one AI's misconduct. 🤖

World-Making for a Future with Sentient AI We are pleased to announce our latest peer-reviewed publication, “World-making for a future with sentient AI” in the British Journal of Social Psychology.

Our new paper in the British Journal of Social Psychology describes what people expect in a future with "widespread AI sentience." The average U.S. adult thinks AI welfare will be an important social issue and sentient AI will be exploited for their labor. www.sentienceinstitute.org/blog/world-m...

Responses to six forecasts (exploiting #AI labor, treating #AI cruelly, using #AI research subjects, #AI welfare, #AI rights advocacy, #AI unhappiness reduction) showed mixed expectations for our future with #AI. @sentienceinstitute.bsky.social
