Stay back, clever thing! Linking situational control and human uniqueness concerns to the aversion against autonomous technology

作者:

Highlights:

• Autonomous technology can seem threatening to users in various ways.

• Proximal and distal threat cues are juxtaposed in a newly developed model.

• Participants interact with the VR embodiment of an allegedly autonomous system.

• Both situational and attitudinal factors increase the threat evoked by the AI system.

• Ultimately, situational factors emerge as more relevant than overarching attitudes.
