What is the impact of an unfair AI on human behavior? Tetris is the key.
Researchers play Tetris and observe the players.
We live in a machine-run world. They can make decisions that are important to us. For example, they can decide who we hire, approve for a loan or recommend user content on the social media. Now more than ever before, machines and computer programs are having a greater influence on our lives. Artificial intelligence (AI), for example, is making new inroads into our lives. This influence extends far beyond those who are directly in contact with machines.
Cornell University’s experiment, in which two players played a modified Tetris game, revealed that the player who got fewer turns rated the other person as being less likeable. This was true whether the turns were allocated by a human or algorithm.
