Throughout history, the experience of power has occurred within the context of human-human interactions. Such power can influence decision making through at least two primary mechanisms: (1) increased goal-orientation, and (2) increased activation of social role expectations. Importantly, new advances in artificial intelligence (AI) are creating the potential to experience power in human-AI interactions. To the extent that some forms of AI can be made to seem like low-power humans (e.g. autonomous digital assistants), people may feel powerful when interacting with such entities. However, it is unclear whether feeling power over AI will lead to the same psychological consequences as feeling power over humans. In this article, we review findings on power and decision making and then consider how they may be meaningfully extended by considering interactions with artificially intelligent digital assistants. We conclude with a call for new theorizing and research on power in the age of artificial intelligence.
纵观历史，权力的体验是在人与人之间的互动背景下发生的。这种权力可以通过至少两种主要机制影响决策制定：（1）增强目标导向，（2）增强社会角色期望的激活。重要的是，人工智能（AI）的新进展正在创造在人机交互中体验权力的潜力。在某种程度上，一些形式的 AI 可以被设计得看起来像低权力的人类（例如，自主数字助理），当人们与这些实体交互时，他们可能会感到有权力。然而，目前还不清楚对 AI 的权力感是否会导致与对人类的权力感相同的心理后果。在本文中，我们回顾了权力和决策方面的研究发现，然后考虑了如何通过考虑与人工智能数字助理的交互来对这些发现进行有意义的扩展。最后，我们呼吁在人工智能时代对权力进行新的理论化和研究。
