AI Reasoning Test

Welcome! You are about to take a test on Lab in the Wild.

How well can you think like an AI?

How well do you understand how an AI thinks? See how you perform on predicting the decisions of an AI for a nutrition-related task!

The test typically takes 10 minutes to complete.

 

How well can you think like an AI?

Please read the following information carefully before proceeding.

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.

Potential risks: There are no risks anticipated in taking part in this study and you are free to leave at any time without penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.

Privacy: Your responses will be kept anonymous. We do not collect any information that could be used to directly establish your identity.

Duration: Approximately 10 minutes.

By clicking the "I agree" button you confirm that you have read and understood the above and agree to take part in this research. Your participation is voluntary and you are free to leave the experiment at any time by simply closing the web browser.
