Workshop’s Topic: With advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, AI conversation agents (i.e., chatbots) are increasingly prevalent in marketing contexts such as product recommendations and customer services. In efforts to make AI agents simulate human conversations as much as possible, companies and organizations have widely used language factors such as conversational fillers in their chatbots’ customer interactions. This research proposes that, in the product recommendation context, persuasion knowledge can come into work when consumers encounter certain language factors such as conversational fillers from AI agents, thereby decreasing their acceptance of product recommendations. The authors conducted field experiment and five experiments, to provide empirical support for the hypotheses.
