摘要

Do AI-enabled voicebots, such as Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant, influence consumer choice, and if so, how and why? We demonstrate that consumers are more likely to choose expensive upgrades over more basic options when shopping using voicebots, compared to screen-based or text-based online shopping interfaces. Eleven studies using real voicebots, including secondary data from an online vendor, suggest that this tendency to upgrade arises from the cognitive demands of interacting with voicebots, which compromise processing of cost information while not influencing processing of benefit information. This effect attenuates for voice interactions with humans, suggesting a potential boundary condition. The findings make important contributions in the emerging field of consumer-AI interaction.
