• Abstract summary: This study investigates how human cooperation varies based on gender labels assigned to AI agents. In the Prisoner's Dilemma game, 402 participants interacted with partners labelled as AI (bot) or humans. Results revealed participants tended to exploit female-labelled and distrust male-labelled AI agents more than their human counterparts.

• Abstract: Cooperation between humans and machines is increasingly vital as artificial intelligence (AI) becomes more integrated into daily life. Research indicates that people are often less willing to cooperate with AI agents than with humans, more readily exploiting AI for personal gain. While prior studies have shown that giving AI agents human-like features influences people's cooperation with them, the impact of AI's assigned gender remains underexplored. This study investigates how human cooperation varies based on gender labels assigned to AI agents with which they interact. In the Prisoner's Dilemma game, 402 participants interacted with partners labelled as AI (bot) or humans. The partners were also labelled male, female, non-binary, or gender-neutral. Results revealed that participants tended to exploit female-labelled and distrust male-labelled AI agents more than their human counterparts, reflecting gender biases similar to those in human-human interactions. These findings highlight the significance of gender biases in human-AI interactions that must be considered in future policy, design of interactive AI systems, and regulation of their use.

  Recent advances in AI have resulted in technology that can support humans in scientific discovery and decision support but may also disrupt democracies and target individuals. The responsible use of AI increasingly shows the need for human-AI teaming. A crucial yet often overlooked aspect of these interactions is the different ways in which humans and machines generalise.

We found that Samaritan AI agents that help everyone unconditionally, including defectors, can promote higher levels of cooperation in humans than Discriminatory AIs.

• On the Perception of Difficulty: Differences between Humans and AI [0.0]
  Key challenge in the interaction of humans with AI is the estimation of difficulty for human and AI agents for single task instances. Research in the field of human-AI interaction estimates the perceived difficulty of humans and AI independently from each other. Research to date has not yet adequately examined the differences in the perceived difficulty of humans and AI.

  We propose a policy ensemble method to increase the diversity of partners in the population. We then develop a context-aware method enabling the ego agent to analyze and identify the partner's potential policy primitives. In this way, the ego agent is able to learn more universal cooperative behaviors for collaborating with diverse partners.

  The rise of Artificial Intelligence will bring with it an ever-increasing willingness to cede decision-making to machines. But rather than just giving machines the power to make decisions that affect us, we need ways to work cooperatively with AI systems. With success, cooperation between humans and AIs can build society just as human-human cooperation has.
