| | DECEMBER 20249CIOReviewConceptual FrameworkBased on the literature review, we propose a conceptual framework that illustrates the main psychological factors that affect people's trust in AI-generated content and how they compare to human-generated content. The framework consists of four components: source, message, receiver and situation. Each component has several subcomponents that represent the specific variables that influence people's trust. The framework concludes with the interactions and feedback loops among the components and subcomponents.Conceptual framework of the psychology of AI credibility Perceived Objectivity ­ AI is just perceived as objective.Consistency and Reliability ­ A trust based on consistent and high-quality contentAuthority Attribution ­ AI uses advanced technologies and most people do not realize AI goes back decadesLack of Emotional Biases ­ AI lacks emotions, thereby reducing concerns associated with those. Transparency ­ Trust is achieved via users' perceived transparent explanationsAccuracy and Precision ­ Users believe AI is accurate and preciseSocial Proof ­ Widespread adoption of AI and positive user experiencesConfirmation Bias Mitigation ­ content may mitigate confirmation biases by presenting information objectivelyDiscussionThis conceptual framework I propose can help us understand the psychological mechanisms that underlie people's trust in AI-generated content and why they may accept it as true more than human-generated content. The framework can also inform the design and regulation of AI systems and the education and empowerment of users. Some of the possible implications are:· AI systems should be transparent and accountable about their sources, methods, and goals, and provide clear and accurate information about their outputs' quality, reliability and limitations.· AI systems should be ethical and responsible in generating content that respects human values, rights, and dignity, and avoids producing content that is misleading, biased or harmful.· AI systems should be adaptable and responsive to users' feedback and preferences, allowing users to control and customize their interactions with the systems.· Users should be aware and informed about the existence and potential effects of AI-generated content and develop the skills and competencies to critically evaluate and verify the content they encounter.· Users should be empowered and engaged in the co-creation and governance of AI systems and have the opportunity to express their opinions and concerns about the systems and their outputs.In this article, we explored the psychology of AI credibility and why people trust AI-generated content more than human-generated content. We reviewed the existing literature on the topic and proposed a conceptual framework that explains the main cognitive and affective processes involved. We also discussed the implications of our findings for the design and regulation of AI systems and the education and empowerment of users. I hope that this paper can contribute to the advancement of research and practice in this important and emerging field. Users should be empowered and engaged in the co-creation and governance of AI systems and have the opportunity to express their opinions and concerns about the systems and their outputs
