Would I lie to you? How interaction with chatbots induces dishonesty
C. Biener and A. Waeber
Are people more dishonest with chatbots than with humans? In a novel experiment where participants privately reported payout-relevant random draws to either a chatbot or a human—under varying signals of agency—researchers find that agency cues increase honesty with humans but not chatbots, and that standard online forms elicit the same honesty as human chat. This research was conducted by Christian Biener and Aline Waeber.
