This study empirically explores consumers' ethical perceptions of autonomous service robots in hotels. It identifies eight themes of consumer perceived ethical issues and explains them from two dimensions: ethical issues during the interaction and ethical issues raised by the characteristics of ASRs. This study is the first to propose ethical issues of ASRs from two dimensions and highlights ethical issues during hotel service interactions.
This study empirically and comprehensively explores consumers' ethical perceptions of autonomous service robots (ASRs) in hotels. Under the triangulation approach, this study has identified eight themes of consumer perceived ethical issues (privacy, security, safety, transparency, fairness, socialization, autonomy, and responsibility). Each theme can be explained from two dimensions: ethical issues arise during the interaction (i.e., ubiquitous surveillance, excessive data, unidentified risks, service disclosure, inaccessibility, dehumanization, selection of services, and service recovery), and ethical issues can be raised by the characteristics of ASRs (i.e., privacy infringement, malicious use, malfunctions, untrustworthiness, biased features, job replacement, inflexibility, and self-identified solutions). This study is the first to propose ethical issues of ASRs from two dimensions with different intelligence levels, and to highlight ethical issues during hotel service interactions. The findings contribute to ethics studies of service robots from consumers' perspectives and offer managerial insights to reduce ethical concerns and enhance ASRs usage in hotels.
