Natural Speech Toward Humans and Intelligent Agents During a Simulated Search and Rescue Mission

Abstract

Recently, robots and artificial intelligence have been utilized in situations that are hazardous to humans. This experiment examined differences in performance, communication and perception when humans work with human or non-human "intelligent agent" teammates while engaged in a simulated search and rescue mission. Participants were found to speak more when working with a non-human partner and when more information on their partners? progress was shared. Results suggest that sharing information on the status of a mission may lead participants to interact differently with a non-human "intelligent agent" than a human.
