Passage 1
短文1
Artificial intelligence agents play ever more influential roles in our lives. They do everything from suggesting new friends to recommending purchases. They're even beginning to drive our cars. Another role that they are expected to take over is negotiating on our behalf in commercial transactions or legal disputes. So it's important to know whether using an artificial intelligence agent might affect how we negotiate. Research indicates that it does.
人工智能代理在我們的生活中扮演著越來越重要的角色。它們從推薦新朋友到推薦購買商品無所不包，甚至開始駕駛我們的汽車。另一個它們有望接手的角色是在商業(yè)交易或法律糾紛中代表我們進(jìn)行談判。因此，了解使用人工智能代理是否會影響我們的談判方式很重要。研究表明，確實如此。
In a new study, participants were told to imagine that they were negotiating for something important to them, like a house. Next, they were told either that they would negotiate for themselves, or they would program an artificial intelligence agent to negotiate for them. Participants then completed a survey indicating how tough, deceptive, and pleasant or otherwise they wanted to be, or wanted their agent to be in the negotiations. For example, participants could choose to be tough by making an opening demand far greater than what they would be willing to accept. They could also choose to express sympathy with their opponent to appear pleasant. But they could also indicate that they or their agent would strategically express anger toward the opponent to gain advantage. Or they could opt to convey dissatisfaction with the encounter so that the other party would think they were losing interest. These are both examples of deceptive strategies.
在一項新研究中，參與者被告知要想象他們正在為對他們來說很重要的事情進(jìn)行談判，比如房子。接下來，他們被告知要么自己進(jìn)行談判，要么編寫一個人工智能代理來為他們進(jìn)行談判。然后，參與者完成了一項調(diào)查，表明他們在談判中想要表現(xiàn)得多么強(qiáng)硬、欺騙、友好或其他方式，或者他們希望他們的代理在談判中如何表現(xiàn)。例如，參與者可以通過提出遠(yuǎn)高于可接受范圍的初始報價來表現(xiàn)得強(qiáng)硬。他們還可以選擇表達(dá)對對手的同情來顯得友好。但他們也可以表示，他們或他們的代理會策略性地表達(dá)對對手的不滿以獲得優(yōu)勢，或者表達(dá)不滿以使對方認(rèn)為他們失去了興趣。這些都是欺騙策略的例子。
Participants were more willing to employ deceptive strategies when assigned an agent to negotiate on their behalf.
當(dāng)被指派一個代理來代表他們進(jìn)行談判時，參與者更愿意采用欺騙策略。
