Resumo(s)

Telling customers they are interacting with an AI sales agent can reduce trust and sales, even if the bot works perfectly. Our research shows this negative effect is driven by a consumer bias called "speciesism"—a preference for humans over machines. The solution is strategic: disclose the bot's identity before the conversation begins, and design it with a high "social presence" using emojis, humor, and personalization. This approach maintains transparency while preserving customer trust and purchase intentions.
