When People Are More Favorable Toward “White-Collar” Ai: Self-Protection Motivation Mitigates Consumers’ Aversion to Artificial Intelligence in Professional Domains

Such aversion to AI can be attenuated when people feel vulnerable and heightened in self-protection motivation, presumably because people rely on competent entities.
