About the Lecture:
Intelligent AI-based systems are being increasingly integrated into work practices, resulting in the emergence of hybrid teams comprised of both human and AI-based participants. In this study, we examine the impact of social presence on collaborative processes in hybrid human-AI teams. Our results show that social presence has a significant influence on behavioral intentions, particularly motivation to contribute to a team. Further, we demonstrate that increasing familiarity and understandability of the AI-based team member can improve the impact of social presence on these behavioral intentions. Our findings contribute to the understanding of human-AI collaboration in the social presence research, highlighting the importance of considering social and interpersonal processes in hybrid teams.
