Consumers’ Trust in Algorithms
We explore when and why consumers trust algorithms more than humans. We find that trust in algorithms depends on the objectiveness and consequentialness of the task and the perceived threat that algorithms pose to human distinctiveness. We develop interventions to increase trust and use of algorithms when they outperform humans.
