A phenomenon of AI-conformity: how algorithms change human moral decision-making

ArXi:2606.00013v1 Announce Type: cross Social conformity is a well-documented phenomenon in which individuals shift their opinions towards those of a social majority. As artificial intelligence (AI) becomes increasingly integrated into everyday life it may also create a novel source of influence giving rise to algorithmic conformity, mechanisms of which are poorly understood. The present study examined whether AI judgements affect moral decision-making in humans (n=165) adapting the classical Asch paradigm.
