arXiv 论文:AI 对话减少阴谋论信念的关键在于事实性论证而非说服技巧

Just the Facts: How Dialogues with AI Reduce Conspiracy Beliefs

AI 导读

一项发表于 arXiv 的研究通过两项实验(美国在线招募成年人,总样本 N=2,193)逐一排除可能原因,发现 AI 对话显著减少阴谋论信念的效果对披露说服目标、辩论框架、告知而非说服指令、缩短回复、更换信念测量方式和单条定制信息等干预均稳健。

推荐理由

两项实验(N=2,193)排除多种替代解释后指出,AI 对话减少阴谋论信念主要靠事实性反证,而非说服话术。

Abstract:Personalized dialogues with AI substantially reduce conspiracy beliefs. To identify why, we conducted two experiments with U.S. adults recruited online (total N = 2,193) that removed possible causes one at a time. The debunking effect was robust to disclosing the AI's persuasive goal, framing the exchange as a debate, instructing the AI to inform rather than persuade, halving its response length, altering how beliefs were measured, and replacing the dialogue with a single tailored message. Only instructing the AI to persuade without factual evidence and arguments substantially reduced the debunking effect. Content analyses of the AI's output and participants' own accounts linked larger reductions in conspiracy beliefs to factual argumentation rather than rapport, storytelling, or appeals to empathy. AI dialogues appear to reduce conspiracy beliefs primarily by supplying relevant, well-reasoned counterevidence. Our results suggest that humans might be similarly effective if they could supply comparable evidence.
