What is it about?
Every day, AI systems are becoming increasingly capable of influencing beliefs and behaviors, raising both opportunities and risks. This survey maps out what researchers know about AI/LLM persuasion. It covers three angles: AI as a persuader (generating convincing arguments), AI as a persuadee (being convinced into changing beliefs and actions), and AI as a persuasion judge (detecting influence and evaluating argument quality). The authors review over 150 studies and highlight where the science is heading, including the urgent need to make persuasive AI safer, more transparent, and harder to misuse.
