Don’T Talk, Text: Modality in Consumer Interactions With Human Versus Ai Agents
This research examines when and why consumers might trust their personal information to AI agents (e.g., Alexa, chatbots) more than human agents. We predict and find that while human agents are preferred in voice interactions, AI can be superior to humans in text-based interactions. Source credibility perceptions drive these effects.
