| contents | Appropriate reliance is critical to achieving synergistic human-AI collaboration. For instance, when users over-rely on AI assistance, their human-AI team performance is bounded by the model's capability. This work studies how the presentation of model uncertainty may steer users' decision-making toward fostering appropriate reliance. Our results demonstrate that showing the calibrated model uncertainty alone is inadequate. Rather, calibrating model uncertainty and presenting it in a frequency format allow users to adjust their reliance accordingly and help reduce the effect of confirmation bias on their decisions. Furthermore, the critical nature of our skin cancer screening task skews participants' judgment, causing their reliance to vary depending on their initial decision. Additionally, step-wise multiple regression analyses revealed how user demographics such as age and familiarity with probability and statistics influence human-AI collaborative decision-making. We discuss the potential for model uncertainty presentation, initial user decision, and user demographics to be incorporated in designing personalized AI aids for appropriate reliance. |
