About

Guanxiong Huang is a leading researcher in human-computer interaction and communication science, with a primary focus on the persuasive dynamics of artificial intelligence. His most influential work, a comprehensive meta-analysis titled "Is artificial intelligence more persuasive than humans?" (2023), synthesizes data from 121 randomized experiments involving over 53,000 participants. This landmark study systematically compares the persuasive effects of AI agents—such as virtual assistants, robot journalists, and AI doctors—against human communicators, revealing critical insights into when and why AI may be more or less convincing. With over 80 combined citations, this research has become a foundational reference for scholars exploring AI's role in social influence. Huang’s contributions are particularly notable for bridging communication theory with empirical AI research, offering practical implications for designing ethical and effective AI systems. His work is essential reading for students and researchers investigating the intersection of technology, persuasion, and human behavior.
