The Impact of Artificial Agents on Persuasion: a Construal Level Account

We show across four studies that, due to lack of its own superordinate goals, artificial agents (e.g., Robots, AI) are perceived, by default, at a lower level construal compared to humans. This construal level perception extends to influence persuasion and were moderated by the extent of perceived machine learning.
