  This paper investigates the specific experience of following a suggestion by
an intelligent machine that has a wrong outcome and the emotions people feel.
By adopting a typical task employed in studies on decision-making, we presented
participants with two scenarios in which they follow a suggestion and have a
wrong outcome by either an expert human being or an intelligent machine. We
found a significant decrease in the perceived responsibility on the wrong
choice when the machine offers the suggestion. At present, few studies have
investigated the negative emotions that could arise from a bad outcome after
following the suggestion given by an intelligent system, and how to cope with
the potential distrust that could affect the long-term use of the system and
the cooperation. This preliminary research has implications in the study of
cooperation and decision making with intelligent machines. Further research may
address how to offer the suggestion in order to better cope with user's
self-blame.
