Abstract

We examined how individuals’ personality relates to various attitudes toward artificial intelligence (AI). Attitudes were organized into two dimensions of affective components (positive and negative emotions) and two dimensions of cognitive components (sociality and functionality). For personality, we focused on the Big Five personality traits (extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, neuroticism, openness) and personal innovativeness in information technology. Based on a survey of 1,530 South Korean adults, we found that extraversion was related to negative emotions and low functionality. Agreeableness was associated with both positive and negative emotions, and it was positively associated with sociality and functionality. Conscientiousness was negatively related to negative emotions, and it was associated with high functionality, but also with low sociality. Neuroticism was related to negative emotions, but also to high sociality. Openness was positively linked to functionality, but did not predict other attitudes when other proximal predictors were included (e.g. prior use, personal innovativeness). Personal innovativeness in information technology consistently showed positive attitudes toward AI across all four dimensions. These findings provide mixed support for our hypotheses, and we discuss specific implications for future research and practice.

摘要

我们研究了个人的个性与对人工智能 (AI) 的各种态度之间的关系。态度被组织成两个维度的情感成分（积极和消极的情绪）和两个维度的认知成分（社交和功能）。对于人格，我们关注大五人格特质（外向性、随和性、责任心、神经质、开放性）和信息技术中的个人创新性。根据对 1,530 名韩国成年人的调查，我们发现外向性与负面情绪和低功能有关。宜人性与积极和消极情绪相关，并且与社交性和功能性正相关。尽责性与负面情绪呈负相关，与高功能性相关，但也具有低社交性。神经质与负面情绪有关，但也与高度社交有关。开放性与功能呈正相关，但在包括其他近端预测因素时（例如先前使用、个人创新）并不能预测其他态度。个人在信息技术方面的创新在所有四个方面都始终表现出对人工智能的积极态度。这些发现为我们的假设提供了不同的支持，我们讨论了对未来研究和实践的具体影响。个人在信息技术方面的创新在所有四个方面都始终表现出对人工智能的积极态度。这些发现为我们的假设提供了不同的支持，我们讨论了对未来研究和实践的具体影响。个人在信息技术方面的创新在所有四个方面都始终表现出对人工智能的积极态度。这些发现为我们的假设提供了不同的支持，我们讨论了对未来研究和实践的具体影响。
