Description

Participants watch a video of a hypothetical drone system capable of identifying, tracking and neutralizing human trafficking vehicles, assuming the role of a drone operator. The video contained narrations of 4 different information types: (1) control - describes what the system was used for, (2) performance only - consistency and reliability of system behavior (3) process only - qualities of the system behavior such as its algorithms and (4) both performance and process. After watching the video participants answer questionnaires to evaluate the system's ability, integrity and benevolence.

Commentary

Participants with experience in operating drones were excluded, hypothetical scenario presented on video, participants assume the role of a drone operator

Original purpose

To examine trust in automation from a multidimensional perspective: ability, integrity, and benevolence perceptions.

RRI issues

Accountability, if the drone makes a wrong identification.
