{ "pk": 24483, "title": "Perceptions of Compromise: Comparing Consqequentialist and Conctractualist Accounts", "subtitle": null, "abstract": "We are constantly faced with the question of how to aggregate preferences, views, perspectives and values. This is a problem for groups attempting to accommodate individuals with differing needs and interests, as will be our focus. The problem of ``value aggregation'' therefore crops up in myriads of places across the social sciences---in rational decision theory, social choice models, and proposals for systems of democratic voting, for instance. These sub-disciplines have formalized proposals for how to deal with value aggregation, though, remarkably, no research has yet directly compared people's intuitions of two of the most obvious candidates for aggregation--taking the sum of all the values (the classic ``Utilitarian'' approach) and the product (a less well-known ``contractualist'' approach).\nIn this paper, we systematically explore the proposals suggested by each algorithm, focusing on aggregating preferences across groups. We find that both humans and performant LLMs prefer a contractualist approach.", "language": "eng", "license": { "name": "", "short_name": "", "text": null, "url": "" }, "keywords": [ { "word": "Artificial Intelligence; Decision making; Social cognition; Large Language Models; Survey" } ], "section": "Papers with Poster Presentation", "is_remote": true, "remote_url": "https://escholarship.org/uc/item/9qb7g0vk", "frozenauthors": [ { "first_name": "Jared", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Moore", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "Stanford University", "department": "" }, { "first_name": "Sydney", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Levine", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "Allen Institute for Artificial Intelligence", "department": "" }, { "first_name": "Yejin", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Choi", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "Allen Institute for Artificial Intelligence", "department": "" } ], "date_submitted": null, "date_accepted": null, "date_published": "2024-01-01T11:00:00-07:00", "render_galley": { "label": "PDF", "type": "pdf", "path": "https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/24483/galley/21446/download/" }, "galleys": [ { "label": "PDF", "type": "pdf", "path": "https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/24483/galley/14080/download/" }, { "label": "PDF", "type": "pdf", "path": "https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/24483/galley/21446/download/" } ] }
