摘要：

This seminar presents a recent experimental study that investigates whether individuals exhibit different bargaining behavior when negotiating with humans versus robots. In Study 1, participants engaged in an alternating-offer bargaining experiment with four distinct treatments: human vs. human, human vs. random robot, human vs. backward induction robot, and human vs. machine learning robot. Results show that human proposers were less altruistic when bargaining with robots. They were more likely to accept "unfair" offers from robots and less likely to accept fair offers from them due to gambling motivation. Human behavior was also sensitive to the strategy employed by the robot. Notably, the acceptance rate for offers from machine learning robots was statistically similar to that from human proposers. Study 2 allowed participants to choose whether to delegate the bargaining task to a machine learning robot. The study found no significant differences in offers made to human versus robot responders, nor in human responders' acceptance rates for offers from human versus robot proposers. This suggests that the robot was perceived as behaviorally equivalent to a human. However, most participants still preferred to bargain themselves, likely due to a preference for control.
