Journal ArticleDoes More Advice Help? The Effects of Second Opinions in AI-Assisted Decision MakingLu, Zhuoran; Wang, Dakuo; Yin, Ming<p>AI assistance in decision-making has become popular, yet people's inappropriate reliance on AI often leads to unsatisfactory human-AI collaboration performance. In this paper, through three pre-registered, randomized human subject experiments, we explore whether and how the provision of second opinions may affect decision-makers' behavior and performance in AI-assisted decision-making. We find that if both the AI model's decision recommendation and a second opinion are always presented together, decision-makers reduce their over-reliance on AI while increase their under-reliance on AI, regardless whether the second opinion is generated by a peer or another AI model. However, if decision-makers have the control to decide when to solicit a peer's second opinion, we find that their active solicitations of second opinions have the potential to mitigate over-reliance on AI without inducing increased under-reliance in some cases. We conclude by discussing the implications of our findings for promoting effective human-AI collaborations in decision-making.</p>In Proceedings of the ACM on Human-Computer Interaction: Computer-Supported Cooperative Work and Social Computing (CSCW)2024-04-1710524797Proceedings of the ACM on Human-Computer Interaction8CSCW11 to 312573-0142https://doi.org/10.1145/36537082229876; 2340209National Science Foundation
