New model explores how AI agents persuade humans

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A new theoretical framework called the Knowledge-based Persuasion Model (KPM) has been proposed to understand how generative social agents (GSAs) interact with and influence human users. Developed by Stephan Vonschallen from Brandeis University, the KPM posits that a GSA's self-, user-, and context-knowledge dictates its persuasive strategies, which in turn affect human attitudes and behaviors. The model aims to guide the development of responsible GSAs that promote user well-being by adhering to social norms and ethical standards, with potential applications in fields like healthcare and education.

    Understanding Persuasive Interactions between Generative Social Agents and Humans: The Knowledge-based Persuasion Model (KPM)

    arXiv:2602.11483v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Generative social agents (GSAs) use artificial intelligence to autonomously communicate with human users in a natural and adaptive manner. Currently, there is a lack of theorizing regarding interactions with GSAs, and like…
