Experimental Design (Public) Recruiting 405 professional translators on online freelancer websites (eg. Freelancer.com, fiverr.com) across three languages (Spanish, Arabic, and Hindi). Each translator will first complete a baseline task of language ability. Then they will complete five short follow-up tasks. In each follow-up task half will receive no AI assistance (control), and the other half will be randomly assigned one of thirteen different generative AI models. They will also all complete some short questions (eg. on their experience as a professional translator, familiarity with AI tools, etc.) Recruiting 336 professional translators on online freelancer websites (eg. Freelancer.com, fiverr.com) across three languages (Spanish, Arabic, and Hindi). Each translator will first complete a baseline task of language ability. Then they will complete five short follow-up tasks. In each follow-up task individuals will equally be split into one of fourteen groups. One with no AI assistance (control), and the others will be randomly assigned one of thirteen different generative AI models. They will also all complete some short questions (eg. on their experience as a professional translator, familiarity with AI tools, etc.)
Planned Number of Clusters 390 (130 individuals for each of the three languages) 336 (112 individuals for each of the three languages)
Planned Number of Observations 390 individuals 336 individuals
Sample size (or number of clusters) by treatment arms 75 tasks completed * 13 arms = 975 tasks 975 control tasks Total= 1950 tasks/ 5 tasks per individual= 390 individuals 120 tasks completed * 14 arms = 1680 tasks Total= 1680 tasks/ 5 tasks per individual= 336 individuals
