Who is the Expert? Reconciling Algorithm Aversion and Algorithm Appreciation in AI-Supported Decision Making

Summary

Earlier studies disagreed about whether people trust algorithms or avoid them; this paper says both are true, and the choice depends on the situation. People lean on algorithms for clear-cut tasks and push back on them for fuzzy or high-accountability ones.
