Bargaining With Algorithm: How Consumers Respond to the Offer Proposed By Algorithms Versus Human
This research examines consumers’ reactions when the algorithms become the formal counterparty and opponent to human decisions in the context of human-algorithm negotiations. We find that compared with negotiating with humans, consumers adjust their counteroffer less and consequently make more conciliatory counteroffers when they are bargaining with algorithms.
