AI Writing Assistants’ Influence on User Opinions

Maurice Jakesch, Chair of Computational Social Science Lab, Bauhaus University Weimar

   01.04.2025

   10:00 am - 11:00 am

   Seminar Room 211b, 2/F, Ludwigstr. 28 (Front Building), 80539 Munich

AI writing assistants powered by Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly used to support people’s writing. Can they impact people’s opinions in this process? We exposed participants writing about important societal issues to an AI writing assistant that provided biased autocomplete suggestions. When using the AI assistant, participants’ attitudes in a post-task survey converged towards the AI’s position. In the talk, the speaker would report on a series of experiments on this novel form of influence and consider its wider societal implications.
