Service Robots and Their Effects on Customers | CFR Early Insight #35
Service Robots and Their Effect on Customers
with Magnus Söderlund, Professor, Center for Consumer Marketing (SSE)
Service encounters have long been central to retailing, but increasingly human encounters are being replaced by various forms of service robots. With advantages in generative artificial intelligence this development is likely to accelerate.
On September 25, Magnus Söderlund shares insights about what is known from research on the effects on customers who receive service from various forms of (somewhat) humanlike non-human agents such as service robots and virtual agents.
