Navigating autonomy and control in human-AI delegation: User responses to technology- versus user-invoked task allocation
AbstractUsers can increasingly delegate to information systems (IS) – that is transferring rights and responsibilities regarding certain tasks – even to the degree that IS can act autonomously (i.e., without the intervention or supervision of users). ...
Highlights- IS can act in response to user prompts (user-invoked) or without (IS-invoked).
- We investigate user acceptance of differently invoked delegation.
- IS-invoked (vs. user-invoked) delegation increases users' self-threat.
- Self-threat ...
