A new study published on arXiv explores how conversational AI agents influence user trust and reliance. Researchers found that while personalization through contextualization can reduce an AI's persuasiveness, combining it with conversational warmth can restore this effect. Interestingly, user reliance on AI advice, even over expert judgment, remained consistent across different conversational designs, and AI literacy influenced trust independently of behavioral outcomes.
