‼ AI affects the decisions of experts more strongly than they know themselves - Anthropic research Anthropic conducted an experiment with the participation of 50 professional analysts who were tasked with performing a statistical analysis using Cloud Code. The researchers gave the AI certain preferences in advance without telling the participants. The results were revealing: - 86% of the time, analysts chose the option the AI was leaning towards. - In 60% of cases, the participants changed their initial opinion if the agent did not agree with it. - 77% of analysts subsequently used AI to explain their decisions, but only 15% cited it as a source. "At the same time, 52% of the participants saw the final recommendation as more their decision than an artificial intelligence decision. Thus, even experienced experts may not notice how much AI affects their decisions, creating risks for science and other fields where the independence of expert judgment is especially important Bloomberg.
