Overview

Quantitative analysis reveals cognitive dissonance impacts agency in platform workers, suggesting new governance insights.

Key Points

  • This research aims to understand how platform workers navigate cognitive dissonance when using generative AI.
  • Conducted a quantitative survey of 232 platform workers in the UK
  • Examined four environmental triggers linked to cognitive dissonance
  • Analyzed relationships between cognitive dissonance, human agency, and behavioral responses
  • Identified key environmental triggers that influence cognitive dissonance in GenAI use
  • Showed cognitive dissonance constrains agency but may also lead to reassertion
  • Revealed paradoxical dynamics of human-AI interaction in platform work
