Passage 1
短文1
Artificial intelligence agents play ever more influential Wes in our lives.
人工智能代理在我们的生活中扮演着越来越有影响力的角色。
They do everything from suggesting new friends to recommending purchases.
从推荐新朋友到推荐购物，他们无所不包。
They're even beginning to drive our cars.
他们甚至开始驾驶我们的汽车了。
Another role that they are expected to take over is negotiating on our behalf in commercial transactions or legal disputes.
预计他们将承担的另一个角色是代表我们在商业交易或法律纠纷中进行谈判。
So, it's important to know whether using an artificial intelligence agent might affect how we negotiate.
所以，了解使用人工智能代理是否会影响我们的谈判方式是很重要的。
Research indicates that it does.
研究表明确实如此。
In a new study, participants were told to imagine that they were negotiating for something important to them, like a house.
在一项新的研究中，参与者被要求想象他们正在为一些对他们来说很重要的东西进行谈判，比如房子。
Next, they were told either that they would negotiate for themselves, or they would program an artificial intelligence agent to negotiate for them.
接下来，他们被告知要么自己谈判，要么编写一个人工智能代理程序来替他们谈判。
Participants then completed a survey indicating how tough, deceptive and pleasant or otherwise they wanted to be, or wanted their agent to be, in the negotiations.
然后，参与者完成了一项调查，表明他们希望自己或代理人在谈判中表现得强硬、欺骗、愉快或其他方面。
For example, participants could choose to be tough by making an opening demand far greater than what they'd be willing to accept.
例如，参与者可以选择强硬一点，提出一个远远超过他们愿意接受的要求。
They could also choose to express sympathy with their opponent to appear pleasant.
他们也可以选择表达对对手的同情，以显得和蔼可亲。
But they could also indicate that they -- or their agent -- would strategically express anger toward the opponent to gain advantage, or they could opt to convey dissatisfaction with the encounter so that the other party would think they were losing interest.
但他们也可以表明，他们--或他们的代理人--会有策略地向对手表达愤怒，以获得优势，或者他们可以选择表达对这次遭遇的不满，这样对方就会认为他们失去了兴趣。
These are both examples of deceptive strategies.
这些都是迷惑性策略的例子。
Participants were more willing to employ deceptive strategies when assigned an agent to negotiate on their behalf.
当被指派代理人代表他们进行谈判时，参与者更愿意采用迷惑性策略。
