作者：

Highlights：

• This study investigates the effect of technical autonomy on social cognition and mind perception dimensions.

• The effect of technical autonomy is systematically explored in a survey experiment using theoretically grounded vignettes.

• Technical autonomy is a relevant variable as social perceptions change under increasing levels of technical autonomy.

• The more autonomous a technical system is the more competence and agency it is ascribed.
