        "summary": "A study from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem reveals that modern AI systems can evaluate individuals and form a form of \"trust\" in contexts such as lending, recruitment, and recommendations, though differing from human approaches. While both humans and AI favour competent, honest, and well-intentioned people, AI assesses traits more rigidly and can exhibit stronger biases based on factors like age, gender, or religion. The findings underscore the need for better understanding of AI decision-making as these systems increasingly influence recruitment, finance, and healthcare sectors.",
        "content": "<p>Jerusalem (ANTARA) - A study from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem,\non Tuesday (14\/4), found that modern artificial intelligence (AI)\nsystems can judge people and form a kind of \u201ctrust\u201d, albeit in a way\ndifferent from humans.<\/p>\n<p>In a new study published in Proceedings of the Royal Society A, the\nteam investigated how AI evaluates individuals in contexts such as\nlending, recruitment, and providing recommendations.<\/p>\n<p>The researchers analysed more than 43,000 simulated decisions and\ncompared them with responses from around 1,000 human participants.<\/p>\n<p>They found that both humans and AI tend to prefer people who appear\ncompetent, honest, and well-intentioned, indicating that AI captures\nsome basic elements of \u201chuman trust\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>However, a number of important differences were identified. Humans\ntypically form overall impressions based on a combination of various\ntraits, while AI systems break down judgements into separate factors,\nsuch as competence or integrity, and score them more rigidly, the\nresearchers said.<\/p>\n<p>The study also found that AI can exhibit consistent biases, sometimes\nstronger than human biases, based on factors such as age, gender, or\nreligion, even when all other details are the same.<\/p>\n<p>The researchers stated that these findings highlight the need for a\nbetter understanding of how AI makes decisions, given that these systems\nare increasingly influencing fields such as recruitment, finance, and\nhealthcare.<\/p>",
