A comparison between college students and adults on collaboration with artificial intelligence .

What is it about?

This study examines the differences and similarities on views of collaboration with artificial intelligence. For example, we ask their intention to emotional communicate with AI and finds that both of student group and adult group does not want to communicate with AI on emotional basis. However, both groups have positive attitudes toward the cooperation with AI on functional basis in the workplace. Our findings show that both groups show heterogenous patterns in the sense that some of group members are positive collaborators with of AI, and the middle of them are reluctant to collaboration. Finally, the rest of group members are hesitating on the choice of collaboration with AI. Those heterogenous patterns are found in student group and adult group respectively.

Why is it important?

In the near future, most of developed countries will be faced with the situation that human workers have to cooperate with Artificial Intelligence. Nevertheless, this study finds that non-negligible portion of people does not want to accept the situation, irrespective of age group. For the preparation of AI age, it is necessary to provide training workers of cooperation with AI. Without the training of workers, considerable portion of labor force will be exposed to lay off or stuructural unemployment in the coming future.
