越来越多的人担心人工智能会话代理（例如，Siri，Alexa）强化了基于语音的社会刻板印象。由于对会话代理人的声音的社会感知知之甚少，我们研究了（1）支持这些合成声音感知的维度和（2）声学参数在这些感知中的作用。研究1（N = 504）发现，合成语音的感知是由类似于先前报道的自然人类刺激的效价和优势成分支撑的，并且优势成分与语音音高呈强烈的负相关。研究2（N = 160）发现，实验操纵合成语音中的音高直接影响优势相关，但不是价相关，感知。总的来说，这些结果表明，更多地考虑语音音高在主导相关的看法时，设计会话代理的作用可能是一种有效的方法，用于控制刻板印象的声音和这些看法的下游后果。
There is growing concern that artificial intelligence conversational agents (e.g., Siri, Alexa) reinforce voice-based social stereotypes. Because little is known about social perceptions of conversational agents’ voices, we investigated (1) the dimensions that underpin perceptions of these synthetic voices and (2) the role that acoustic parameters play in these perceptions. Study 1 (N = 504) found that perceptions of synthetic voices are underpinned by Valence and Dominance components similar to those previously reported for natural human stimuli and that the Dominance component was strongly and negatively related to voice pitch. Study 2 (N = 160) found that experimentally manipulating pitch in synthetic voices directly influenced dominance-related, but not valence-related, perceptions. Collectively, these results suggest that greater consideration of the role that voice pitch plays in dominance-related perceptions when designing conversational agents may be an effective method for controlling stereotypic perceptions of their voices and the downstream consequences of those perceptions.
