Insights Into the Black Box: Input Explainability of Algorithmic Decisions Drives Consumer Satisfaction in the Digital World
We find that the negative effects of algorithmic (vs. human) choice on satisfaction are driven by lower trust in the algorithm, which results from people’s perception that the algorithm is a black box, i.e., is less transparent. We reveal explainability as an effective intervention to increase satisfaction with algorithmic choice.
