Why we are doing this research: We are trying to understand how to design Artificial Intelligence (AI) that can help people in decision-making.
What you will have to do: You will be presented with a series of pictures of plates of food. We provide you with a picture of a plate of food. The AI or an AI voice assistant will try to evaluate the fat content and will present its reasoning to you. Based on its explanation, you will decide the fat content of the food. The AI may make mistakes. You will also fill out a questionnaire at the beginning of the experiment.
What you will get out of it? We will give you feedback on how you well you figure out the fat content in a plate. The studies on this website are not for clinical diagnosis.

Make sure you can hear the voice of the AI Voice Assistant clearly before you continue. Feel free to listen again!
Now we have found another AI voice assistant for your task. It will offer you the same type of advises. Make sure you can hear the voice of the AI Voice Assistant clearly before you continue. Feel free to listen again!
Please note: In the following task, you will hear two different accents (White American and Black American English Accent) saying different words. The corresponding accents are presented above. It is crucial that you are able to hear the difference between the two accents. Press a left finger on the E key when you hear the accent on the left. Press a right finger on the I key when you hear the accent on the right. You will hear the sound appear one at a time. If you make a mistake, you will see a red cross. Press the other key to continue. Once you read and understand the above text, and have listened to the audios, please advance to the next task. Here is a screenshot of what you will see:

Please note: In the following task, you will see words on the screen. You will have to categorize them as competent/ incompetent. Press a left finger on the E key when you see the words that are competent. Press a right finger on the I key when you see the words that are incompetent. Try to answer the questions as fast as possible without losing accuracy. If you make a mistake, you will see a red cross. Press the other key to continue.
