Sean Captain: 最近的研究表明,消费者对产品上使用“AI驱动”标签的反应并不积极,甚至可能降低购买意愿。我分析了两项研究,其中一项由华盛顿州立大学和天普大学完成,结论是这种标签实际上损害了人们的看法,降低了他们寻找或购买产品的意愿。另一项由Parks Associates发布的研究也发现,如果提及AI,人们会更加犹豫购买产品。虽然提及AI不一定会导致消费者完全拒绝购买产品,但确实会降低他们的购买倾向。人们不确定AI在产品中的作用,这导致了对AI产品的不信任感和不安感。例如,当被问及配备AI的冰箱时,许多人感到困惑。研究还发现,年轻人更倾向于购买带有AI的产品,而老年人则不太倾向。因此,公司应该清楚地说明AI产品对消费者的好处,例如客户服务聊天机器人和家庭安全设备。如果AI的功能不明确,人们会倾向于负面考虑,例如成本、数据隐私和使用难度。

  • Younger generations (20-40s) are more accepting of AI.
