Dual humanness and trust in conversational AI: A person-centered approach

作者:

Highlights:

• Trust in conversational AI is the key to unleash the full business potential of the new technology.

• A dualistic humanness model for conversational AI based on its speaking and listening attributes is proposed.

• Person-centered analytics such as latent profile analysis and finite mixture modeling is used.

• Three distinctive humanness perception patterns are uncovered: para-human, para-machine, and asymmetric perception.

• The asymmetry between humanness perceptions regarding speaking and listening can impede morality-related trust.
