Anglophonia, 2020
Sociolinguistic studies (Eckert: 2000; Labov: 1966; 1972) have shown that some allophones can carry social meaning. The use of a given allophone can indeed inform about the age, gender, or social class of a speaker.

Teaching NICO How to Grasp: An Empirical Study on Crossmodal Social Interaction as a Key Factor for Robots Learning From Humans

Frontiers in Neurorobotics, 2020
To overcome novel challenges in complex domestic environments, humanoid robots can learn from human teachers. We propose that the capability for social interaction should be a key factor in this teaching process and benefits both the subjective ...

Perceptual discrimination difficulty and familiarity in the Uncanny Valley: More like a ‘Happy Valley’.

Frontiers in Psychology, 2014
The Uncanny Valley Hypothesis (UVH) predicts that enhanced difficulty perceptually discriminating between categorically ambiguous human and humanlike characters (e.g., highly realistic robot) evokes negatively valenced (i.e., uncanny) experience.

The A(I) Team: Effects of Human‐Likeness and Conformity to Gender Stereotypes on Initial Trust and Willingness to Work With an AI Teammate

Journal of Organizational Behavior, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As artificial intelligence (AI) technologies progress, AI agents arise as potential teammates in the workplace. This study explores how the visual representation of the AI agent as well as its conformity to traditional gender stereotypes affects the manifestation of uncanny valley effects in a workplace team context.

More Than Saying “It's AI”: How Role Disclosure Transparency in AI‐Generated Ads Influences Persuasion

Psychology &Marketing, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This research examines how AI role disclosure transparency—the consumers' subjective perception of how clearly and informatively an advertisement communicates the role that AI played in the ad creation process—influences consumer evaluation of AI‐generated ads via ad creation process credibility. A high level of perceived transparency enhances
