AI-Implanted False Memories

AI-Implanted False Memories

my notes ( ? )

"examines the impact of AI on human false memories--recollections of events that did not occur or deviate from actual occurrences... through suggestive questioning in Human-AI interactions, simulating crime witness interviews. Four conditions were tested: control, survey-based, pre-scripted chatbot, and generative chatbot"

The 200 people in the study "watched a crime video, then interacted with their assigned AI interviewer or survey, answering questions including five misleading ones. False memories were assessed immediately and after one week".

The LLM-driven chatbot:

  • "over 3 times more immediate false memories than the control and 1.7 times more than the survey method.
  • 36.4% of users' responses ... were misled ...
  • After one week, the number of false memories ... remained constant... confidence ... remained higher than the control...
  • users who were less familiar with chatbots but more familiar with AI technology, and more interested in crime investigations, were more susceptible"
