    "title": "Miscalibrated trust hinders effective partner choices in human-AI collectives",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "Trust, a cornerstone of human cooperation, faces unprecedented challenges as artificial intelligence (AI) agents permeate social systems, transforming mechanisms humans have evolved to build trust. We demonstrate how a prevalent feature of AI agents—being excessively prosocial—reshapes trust dynamics in experiments (N = 675) simulating hybrid societies comprising humans and AI agents (\"bots\") powered by a state-of-the-art large language model. Using a partner-selection game with pre-decision communication, Study 1 revealed a paradox: Undisclosed bots, despite being more trustworthy than humans and detectable by communication, were not preferentially selected as partners. Instead, bots' prosociality was misattributed to their human competitors. Study 2 showed that disclosing bots' identity initially enhanced humans' bias against selecting bots but improved trust calibration over time. Our work demonstrates the dual effect of transparency in the dynamic calibration of trust in human-AI ecosystems and introduces a framework for evaluating AI agents in interactive, hybrid environments.",
