智力谦逊作为AI生成健康错误信息的认知过滤器:基于进化视角的认知警觉研究
Intellectual Humility as a Cognitive Filter for AI-Generated Health Misinformation. An Evolutionary Perspective on Epistemic Vigilance
AI总结:
通过实验(N=99)发现,智力谦逊(对认知局限的元认知意识)能选择性过滤AI生成的健康对话中的伪科学内容,但对准确内容的可信度评估无显著影响,且谦逊与识别AI来源的能力无关,表明认知警觉作用于内容质量而非来源归因。
摘要:
我们展示了一项研究(N=99)的实验结果,考察智力谦逊(IH),即对认知局限的元认知意识,如何影响对科学严谨性不同的AI生成健康对话的评估。参与者被随机分配评估三段关于运动与心理健康的对话:科学准确的、中度伪科学的或强烈伪科学的。结果显示,IH作为一种选择性认知过滤器。谦逊得分较高的个体认为伪科学内容的可信度显著较低,而对准确内容的可信度评估则无相关性。关键的是,谦逊并不能预测识别对话为AI来源的能力,表明认知警觉作用于内容质量而非来源归因。我们从进化视角解释这些发现,提出IH代表一种祖先适应,用于在信息不确定环境中导航。尽管人类缺乏检测AI来源的进化机制,但IH在检测AI生成内容中的利用企图方面仍然有效。该研究有助于理解基础模型如何改善或削弱人类的认知防御,尤其是在健康传播语境中。
英文摘要:
We present experimental findings from a study (N=99) examining how intellectual humility (IH), i.e., the metacognitive awareness of epistemic limitations, affects the evaluation of AI-generated health dialogues varying in scientific rigor. Participants were randomly assigned to evaluate one of three dialogues about exercise and mental health: scientifically accurate, moderately pseudoscientific, or strongly pseudoscientific. Results reveal that IH functions as a selective cognitive filter. Individuals with higher humility scores rated pseudoscientific content as significantly less credible, while showing no correlation with credibility assessments of accurate content. Crucially, humility did not predict the ability to identify AI as the source of dialogues, suggesting that epistemic vigilance operates on content quality rather than source attribution. We interpret these findings through an evolutionary lens, proposing that IH represents an ancestral adaptation for navigating informationally uncertain environments. It remains effective at detecting exploitation attempts in AI-generated content, despite humans lacking evolved mechanisms for detecting AI sources. The study contributes to understanding how foundation models might improve or undermine human epistemic defenses, especially in health communication contexts.
