Co-constructing intersubjectivity with artificial conversational agents: People are more likely to initiate repairs of misunderstandings with agents represented as human

作者:

Highlights:

• This article demonstrates a method for evaluating human-agent interaction against human–human benchmarks.

• An experiment assesses the effort people exert toward building common ground with a conversational agent.

• Believing an interlocutor is a person (vs. an agent) augments efforts to establish common ground.

• Interfacing with a human body (vs. a text screen) augments efforts to establish common ground.
