Dr. Yiwei Xu has a new paper in JMIR AI, “AI Summaries in Online Search Influence Users’ Attitudes,” with Saloni Dash, Sungha Kang, Wang Liao, and Emma S. Spiro. The study finds that AI summaries in search results shift people’s views toward the summary’s stance, especially when placed at the top of the page. She is also giving a talk at the Johns Hopkins HCI Brown Bag, hosted by Dr. Xiao!
