A Survey of Human Perceptions of Digitization

Abstract

Real objects can be transformed but cannot be copied and pasted. In contrast, digital objects can be copied and pasted. In this way, may not necessarily apply that people's perception of the real world may not apply to digitized objects. With the development of information technology, in an age where a wide variety of services are provided digitally, problems due to differences in perception, particularly people's perception of AI, may arise in the future. This paper explores the extent to which people perceive an object as retaining its original identity. In the experiment, participants were shown videos of real objects, computerized information, and digitalized objects moved by AI that were gradually changed, and a questionnaire was used to investigate whether the objects were the same as the original. Additionally, a questionnaire was conducted to examine people's perception of digital immortality.
