The study offers a framework for identifying where AI tools are appropriate, where they may trigger backlash, and where combining algorithmic assessment with human judgment is most appealing. #AIGov #AIPolicy #AIEthics #AIregulations 6/6

➡️ I also experimentally assess the political implications of these views, demonstrating that employing algorithms in contexts where citizens perceive them as unfair significantly undermines the legitimacy of the policy decisions and interventions they inform. 5/6

➡️ I show that across a wide range of domains, people are more likely to accept algorithmic systems in decisions designed to assist rather than punish and in contexts requiring inferences about collectives rather than individuals. 4/6

I introduce a new theory, arguing that views on this matter vary as a function of:
1️⃣ the objective of the decision at stake;
2️⃣ the population directly affected by the decision.

I test the theory using original experiments embedded in a national U.S. survey. 3/6

Government agencies increasingly use algorithmic systems to make high-stakes decisions (policing, welfare, education), often without public knowledge or consent.

I systematically explore when citizens accept or resist these tools in governance. 2/6
