Dr. Daniel Shank, associate professor of psychological science, is the author of a new book that examines how people value outcomes produced by artificial intelligence compared to those from humans. In “The Machine Penalty: The Consequences of Seeing Artificial Intelligence as Less Than Human, published by Palgrave-Macmillan, Shank explores the tendency to regard AI-generated advice, evaluations, decisions, artistic works and relational interactions as less valuable than those created by people.
