The Hebrew University Business School extends its warmest congratulations to Dr. Yaniv Dover and Valeria Lerman (PhD Candidate in the Department of Marketing) on the acceptance of their paper for publication in the prestigious journal, Proceedings of the Royal Society.

While most of the world is preoccupied with how much humans can trust AI, Yaniv and Valeria’s research explores the exact opposite: how large language models evaluate and "trust" humans in contexts such as financial decisions, workplace relations, and recruitment.

In a world where social media influencers are the primary storefront for a brand, a fascinating conflict arises: where does the influencer’s personal style end and the brand's language begin?

In the article, titled “Human-AI interaction research needs to be embedded in psychological theory,” Bigman and his partners warn against research that focuses only on current phenomena (such as trust in ChatGPT), without explaining the psychological mechanisms behind them. According to them, without theoretical anchoring, findings are liable to become obsolete quickly with every new version of the technology, and not contribute to cumulative scientific progress.

Professor Choshen-Hillel is a leading researcher in the field of organizational behavior and decision-making, and serves as Vice Dean for Teaching at the Hebrew University Business School.

We wish continued groundbreaking work and many more successes on our shared path.
