🧠A research study examines how humans decide to trust and rely on AI systems in collaborative question-answering tasks, identifying two distinct reliance patterns: delegation (autonomous AI action) and adoption (evaluating AI suggestions). The findings reveal humans make suboptimal trust decisions, both under-utilizing correct AI suggestions and over-relying on misleading AI outputs, with confirmation bias playing a significant role in trust calibration failures.
