Dr. Evelyn Vance conducted an investigation into public trust in artificial intelligence (AI) decision-making. She recruited participants from an online professional networking platform and presented them with two scenarios.
In the first scenario, participants rated their trust in an AI system recommending a personalized cancer treatment path (Condition A). In the second scenario, the same participants rated their trust in an AI system operating an autonomous vehicle that swerves to avoid an obstacle (Condition B).
The participants provided a trust rating on a scale from −5-5−5 (extreme distrust) to +5+5+5 (extreme trust).
Explain one limitation of Dr. Vance collecting quantitative data for this investigation.
