[UG/MS/PhD] Human – AI Experiment [CFP]

January 27, 2026

Featured image for “[UG/MS/PhD] Human – AI Experiment [CFP]”

The following announcement is from [Arya Farahi – arya.farahi@austin.utexas.edu]. Please contact them directly if you have any questions.

Hello,
 
We are a team of researchers at the University of Texas at Austin. We launched a new project to tackle a core challenge in complex, intelligent systems: how trust forms, how it spreads, and why it sometimes collapses. This visual recognition challenge attempts to explore the interaction between humans and artificial intelligence (AI) in the context of a high-stakes task. Your participation will help us explore how collaboration with AI can influence human decision making.
 
Criteria for participation in this study:
  • Age 18+
  • Have a U.S. address
  • An email ends with .edu
  • No severe vision loss or blindness
We anticipate the study to take less than 30 minutes to complete. Participants who complete the study before January 31st are eligible to win a prize between $50 and $200.
During this study, the participants will be working alongside an AI system to complete a scored visual recognition task. Final score will be based on how many points the participant accumulate in the experimental phases of the task, represented by a final score with penalties included for each use of AI assistance, incorrect answers, and failure to answer within the time limit. The top twenty scorers will receive a prize as follows:
  • 1st – 5th place: $200
  • 6th – 10th place: $100
  • 11th – 20th place: $50
 
To sign up and begin the study, click here: https://trust-prism-tipgnbgl5q-uc.a.run.app (need to sign-up with an email that ends with .edu)
 
If you have any questions about this research study, you may contact:
    Arya Farahi, PI
    Email: arya.farahi@austin.utexas.edu
    IRB study number: STUDY00008304
