| Description: | This paper examines the growing integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in various social domains, with a focus on altruistic behavior exhibited by large language models (LLMs) such as GPT-3.5-turbo. As these models evolve and gain sophistication, there is a need to investigate whether they can replicate the complexity of human behavior in moral decision-making, particularly in situations involving altruism. The study uses the Dictator Game, a classical experiment in behavioral economics, to analyze how LLMs respond in scenarios where an agent decides how to divide a sum of money between themselves and an anonymous recipient without expecting any reward. The key research question is whether different versions of GPT-3.5-turbo exhibit variation in altruistic decision-making. The comparison of GPT-3.5-turbo’s decisions with human behavior offers valuable insights into AI-human interaction in moral contexts. |
