How Smart Should a Service Robot Be?

Jeroen Schepers et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates through three online experiments and one field study that customers have different emotional responses to service robots with different types of artificial intelligence (AI). The influence of AI on positive emotions becomes stronger as the AI type becomes more sophisticated. Feeling AI and thinking AI increase spending and loyalty intention through customers' positive emotions. Mechanical AI is more suitable for low-cost firms, whereas feeling AI mainly benefits full-service providers. Perceived robot autonomy plays an important mediating role in these relationships.
