A new study in Nature reveals that people who use AI tend to be more dishonest compared to when they don't use AI for tasks.

People are far more likely to lie and cheat when they use AI for tasks, according to an eyebrow-raising new study in the journal Nature.

“Using AI creates a convenient moral distance between people and their actions — it can induce them to request behaviors they wouldn’t necessarily engage in themselves, nor potentially request from other humans,” said behavioral scientist and study co-author Zoe Rahwan, of the Max Planck Institute for Human Development in Berlin, Germany, in a statement about the research.
