Automation Bias
Captions available
The idea
Automation bias, in NIST's profile, is excessive deference to automated systems, including judging AI content as higher quality than other sources without reason.
In practice
A reviewer who approves an AI-drafted report faster than a colleague's, with fewer questions, because the tool is usually right.
Where people slip
NIST notes that automation bias makes other risks worse, especially confabulation and bias.
