PhD research links LLM use to trust, ageism, and stereotypes

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A PhD dissertation by Tabea explored the relationship between trust and the use of Large Language Models (LLMs). The research indicated that self-reported feelings, ageism, gender stereotypes, and trust levels were correlated with LLM usage. However, the study also found that a lack of trust in a chatbot did not necessarily lead to decreased usage. AI
