• Abstract: Many state-of-the-art generative AI (GenAI) systems are increasingly prone to anthropomorphic behaviors, i.e., to generating outputs that are perceived to be human-like. While this has led to scholars increasingly raising concerns about possible negative impacts such anthropomorphic AI systems can give rise to, anthropomorphism in AI development, deployment, and use remains vastly overlooked, understudied, and underspecified. In this perspective, we argue that we cannot thoroughly map the social impacts of generative AI without mapping the social impacts of anthropomorphic AI, and outline a call to action.

• Predicting the Impact of Generative AI Using an Agent-Based Model [0.0]
  Generative artificial intelligence (AI) systems have transformed industries by autonomously generating content that mimics human creativity. This paper employs agent-based modeling (ABM) to explore these implications. The ABM integrates individual, business, and governmental agents to simulate dynamics such as education, skills acquisition, AI adoption, and regulatory responses.

  This study raises the research question of measuring human contribution in AI-assisted content generation. By calculating mutual information between human input and AI-assisted output relative to self-information of AI-assisted output, we quantify the proportional information contribution of humans in content generation.

  Recent wave of generative AI has sparked excitement and concern over potentially superhuman levels of artificial intelligence. At the same time, models still show basic errors in understanding that would not be expected even in non-expert humans. This presents us with an apparent paradox: how do we reconcile seemingly superhuman capabilities with the persistence of errors that few humans would make?

  When working with generative artificial intelligence (AI), users may see productivity gains, but the AI-generated content may not match their preferences exactly. We show that the interplay between individual-level decisions and AI training may lead to societal challenges. A solution to the homogenization and bias issues is to improve human-AI interactions, enabling personalized outputs without sacrificing productivity.

  Anthropomorphization is the tendency to attribute human-like traits to non-human entities. With widespread adoption of AI systems, the tendency for users to anthropomorphize it increases significantly. We study the objective legal implications, as analyzed through the lens of the recent blueprint of AI bill of rights.

We discuss how biased models can lead to more negative real-world outcomes for certain groups. If the issues persist, they could be reinforced by interactions with other risks and have severe implications on society in the form of social unrest.
