A new study from Northumbria University delves into the burgeoning field of human-AI interaction, specifically examining how relationships form with AI chatbots. The longitudinal research seeks to uncover the impact of these interactions on our broader understanding and perception of artificial intelligence. Participants in the study engage in daily 10-minute conversations with an AI chatbot over a four-week period, supplemented by short surveys to gauge their evolving feelings and attitudes.
