Abstract
Do people see algorithms as more or less prejudiced than humans? In contrast to prior work, we find in 4 studies (N=1,252) that for the same discriminatory action, people see algorithms as more motivated by sexism than a human. Importantly, this motivational perception mediates our social cognition.
