1What is human–machine co-behaviour?
It refers to the way humans shape machine behaviour and machines shape human behaviour as they interact together.
2What is an example of humans attributing intentions to machines?
Humans often assign intelligent intentions or emotions to moving objects or AI systems.
3How does politeness affect ChatGPT responses?
Being polite but firm tends to promote better responses from ChatGPT.
4How do humans’ expectations of AI affect trust?
Humans’ expectations about how AI should behave influence how much they trust it.
5When do people generally trust machines more?
People trust machines for objective tasks that follow rules and explicit reasoning, such as solving numerical problems.
6When do people generally trust machines less?
People distrust machines for subjective tasks that require intuition, instinct, or emotional judgment, like hiring decisions or handling emotions.
7Name three factors that influence trust in AI.
Tangibility, transparency, and reliability.
8What is tangibility in the context of trust in AI?
It refers to whether the AI system can be perceived or physically interacted with.
9What is transparency in AI systems?
It’s the degree to which the AI’s operating rules and inner logic are apparent to the user.
10What is reliability in AI systems?
It’s the consistency of the AI’s behavior over time in performing expected tasks.
11What is meant by immediacy behaviors in AI trust?
Non-verbal or psychological cues such as positive affect, showing interest, or eye contact that affect user trust.
12How does trust change with robotic AI over time?
It starts low but increases as humans interact with the robot.
13How does trust change with virtual or embedded AI over time?
It starts high due to high expectations but often decreases with continued use.
14What is the uncanny valley effect?
It’s when increasing human-likeness in robots first increases empathy but then suddenly causes discomfort or revulsion.
15Why might trust decrease when people learn about an AI’s limits?
Because people realize the AI’s representation doesn’t match its actual intelligence, lowering confidence in it.
16What is explainable AI (XAI)?
AI designed to help users understand how its decisions are made.
17List two benefits of explainable AI.
It supports error analysis and reveals biases in data.
18Why is explaining decisions challenging for humans and AI?
Humans often explain decisions after making them, influenced by biases, making explanations unreliable.
19What is a global explanation in XAI?
It explains how the whole model works.
20What is a local explanation in XAI?
It explains why the AI made a specific individual prediction.
21What risk exists with local explanations of complex models?
They can be misleading if they don’t truly match the complex model’s internal reasoning.
22What question highlights data bias issues in models?
“What is the model actually learning?”
23Give an example of unintended data bias.
A wolf vs dog classifier that learned to distinguish snow from grass instead of the animals themselves.
24Why isn’t removing sensitive attributes enough to ensure fairness?
Because sensitive variables often correlate with other variables like zip codes or income.
25Who can be accountable for unfair AI decisions?
The person delivering the training data, the machine learning researcher, or the policymaker.
26What is meant by dual-use of AI?
AI technology can be used for both beneficial purposes, like airport security, and harmful ones, like surveillance abuse.
27What’s a privacy concern mentioned in the lecture?
Using public social media data for research without explicit consent.
28Why is copyright an issue with AI-generated content?
AI models like ChatGPT may reuse existing works and sometimes are even listed as authors.
29What societal risk is linked to AI deepfakes and virtual partners?
Dehumanization, such as creating fake friends or partners.
30What is a moral dilemma example often used for AI ethics?
The tram (trolley) situation, where AI must decide whom to save in emergencies.
31What is the EU AI Act aiming to do?
It proposes a legal framework to regulate AI risks and ensure responsible AI development.
32What are the three types of multidisciplinary solutions for responsible AI?
Technical/engineering, human-centered solutions, and policy solutions.
33What does the “right to explanation” refer to in AI policy?
A proposed regulation giving users the right to understand how AI made a specific decision.
34What factor of trust asks if the system can be perceived or touched?
Tangibility
35What factor of trust asks if the underlying operating rules and inner logics are apparent to users?
Transparency (explainable AI)
36What factor of trust asks if the system exhibits the same and expected behavior over time?
Reliability
37What factor of trust relates to the actual work the system is performing (e.g., technical vs. interpersonal judgments)?
Task characteristics
38What factor of trust relates to the degree of non-verbal, physical, or psychological closeness performed by the system?
Immediacy behaviors
39What is an example of a 'local explanation' method in XAI?
LIME (Local Interpretable Model-Agnostic Explanations)
40What is an example of a 'global explanation' method in XAI?
SHAP (SHapley Additive exPlanations)
41What is "Google's style" of de-biasing?
Identify the decision point and de-bias the actual decision, regardless of what the system learned from unfair data.
42What is "Microsoft's style" of de-biasing?
Change the biased data until it's more fair before training the model.
43How do humans naturally perceive interacting agents, including AI?
By attributing intentions, beliefs, and emotions (Theory of Mind).
44When do people tend to trust AI more?
For objective, rule-based tasks (vs. subjective, intuitive ones).
45How might trust dynamics differ between robotic and virtual AI?
Trust in robotic AI may start low and increase, while trust in virtual AI might start high and decrease upon errors.
46What is 'Algorithm Aversion'?
When trust in an AI decreases after observing its limitations or errors, often starting from a high initial expectation.
47What is the 'Uncanny Valley'?
The dip in familiarity or trust when humanoid robots look almost perfectly human but have subtle flaws.
48What is a major challenge for Explainable AI (XAI)?
AI decision processes can be complex and unlike human reasoning (and humans aren't always rational explainers either).
49What are 'Intrinsically Interpretable Models'?
Using simpler models (like logistic regression) that are easier to understand by nature.
50What are 'Post-hoc Explanations'?
Methods used to explain existing complex models (like neural networks) after they are trained.
51How does LIME generate a local explanation?
It creates perturbations (small changes) of an instance, gets predictions from the complex model, and fits a simple local model to explain that one prediction.
52What is the 'Dual Use' problem in AI?
The fact that AI technologies can be used for both beneficial and harmful purposes (e.g., security vs. surveillance).
53What is the 'Moral Machine' project related to?
Investigating human perspectives on moral dilemmas for AI, such as self-driving car crash scenarios.
54Why is "Fairness through blindness" (removing sensitive attributes) often insufficient?
Because other data features are often correlated with the sensitive attributes anyway.
