Are people algorithm averse, as some previous literature indicates? If so, can the retention of human oversight increase the uptake of algorithmic recommendations, and does keeping a human in the loop improve accuracy? Answers to these questions are of utmost importance given the fast-growing...

Are people algorithm averse, as some previous literature indicates? If so, can the retention of human oversight increase the uptake of algorithmic recommendations, and does keeping a human in the loop improve accuracy? Answers to these questions are of utmost importance given the fast-growing...

As algorithms often outperform humans in prediction, algorithm aversion is economically harmful. To enhance algorithm utilization, we suggest emphasizing their learning capabilities, i.e., their increasing predictive precision over time, through the explicit addition of a “learning” label....
