Description

The rapid adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies is transforming enterprises and challenging established paradigms, reshaping the landscape of business operations, strategy, and employee engagement. This technology shift is not without its complexities. Human-centric barriers, such as black-box issues and technology-related anxiety, can impede AI acceptance, hindering long-term success and integration of AI-based systems in organizational settings. This study posits that embracing AI decision support systems presents unique challenges, which are critical factors in end-user acceptance. We analyzed the literature and identified such factors, and conducted a survey of 218 respondents in a low-stake scenario with a modified Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology model. Our findings suggest that human-centric barriers necessitate reevaluating and expanding existing acceptance models, as well as generating explanatory knowledge for a more comprehensive understanding of AI acceptance and adoption.

A User-Based Study on the Acceptance of Artificial Intelligence-Based Decision-Support Systems

The rapid adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies is transforming enterprises and challenging established paradigms, reshaping the landscape of business operations, strategy, and employee engagement.
