Results reveal that while 73% of users regularly interact with AI agents, only 42% can consistently identify them as non-human entities.

This research contributes to the growing discourse on human-AI interaction by providing empirical insights into the psychological and behavioral impacts of AI agents in social contexts, with implications for platform design, digital literacy education, and ethical AI deployment in social spaces.</span></p> <p> </p>
