AI Article Synopsis

  • The study looks at how AI chatbots in online shopping can influence customers' decisions about what to buy.
  • Researchers used surveys from 411 people in China to understand what makes customers trust chatbot suggestions.
  • They found that if people believe the chatbots are reliable and accurate, they're more likely to trust the technology and use its recommendations, while feeling threatened by their own decisions makes them less likely to do so.

Article Abstract

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) technology in e-commerce has currently stimulated scholarly attention, however studies on AI and e-commerce generally relatively few. The current study aims to evaluate how artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots persuade users to consider chatbot recommendations in a web-based buying situation. Employing the theory of elaboration likelihood, the current study presents an analytical framework for identifying factors and internal mechanisms of consumers' readiness to adopt AI chatbot recommendations. The authors evaluated the model employing questionnaire responses from 411 Chinese AI chatbot consumers. The findings of present study indicated that chatbot recommendation reliability and accuracy is positively related to AI technology trust and have negative effect on perceived self-threat. In addition, AI technology trust is positively related to intention to adopt chatbot decision whereas perceived self-threat negatively related to intention to adopt chatbot decision. The perceived dialogue strengthens the significant relationship between AI-tech trust and intention to adopt chatbot decision and weakens the negative relationship between perceived self-threat and intention to adopt AI chatbot decisions.

Brain tumor detection is crucial in medical research due to high mortality rates and treatment challenges. Early and accurate diagnosis is vital for improving patient outcomes, however, traditional methods, such as manual Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) analysis, are often time-consuming and error-prone. The rise of deep learning has led to advanced models for automated brain tumor feature extraction, segmentation, and classification.

In the Kolmogorov Theory of Consciousness, algorithmic agents utilize inferred compressive models to track coarse-grained data produced by simplified world models, capturing regularities that structure subjective experience and guide action planning. Here, we study the dynamical aspects of this framework by examining how the requirement of tracking natural data drives the structural and dynamical properties of the agent. We first formalize the notion of a using the language of symmetry from group theory, specifically employing Lie pseudogroups to describe the continuous transformations that characterize invariance in natural data.

There is a critical need for community engagement in the process of adopting artificial intelligence (AI) technologies in public health. Public health practitioners and researchers have historically innovated in areas like vaccination and sanitation but have been slower in adopting emerging technologies such as generative AI. However, with increasingly complex funding, programming, and research requirements, the field now faces a pivotal moment to enhance its agility and responsiveness to evolving health challenges.

Background: Generative AI, particularly large language models (LLMs), holds great potential for improving patient care and operational efficiency in healthcare. However, the use of LLMs is complicated by regulatory concerns around data security and patient privacy. This study aimed to develop and evaluate a secure infrastructure that allows researchers to safely leverage LLMs in healthcare while ensuring HIPAA compliance and promoting equitable AI.
