ABSTRACT As Artificial intelligence (AI) systems are becoming increasingly sophisticated in emulating human communication and expressing social values, they also gain greater relevance for questions of culture and identity. This article conceptualizes and illustrates major ways in which this value dimension becomes salient by providing an overview of conflicts over embedding social values into generative AI systems.

Abstract This article presents a scoping review of research on how people respond to AI systems on an emotional level. Using 154 contributions from the complete decade 2015 to 2024, it charts which domains and AI systems and which emotional constructs research has focused on and points to central findings regarding the antecedents and the consequences of emotional responses to AI systems. The review identifies a predominant interest in how emotional responses affect AI use and user satisfaction.
