This study tested the relationships between consumer attitudes toward AI, brand transparency about AI use, perceived brand innovation, perceived manipulative intent, brand attitude, and purchase intention. Study 1 employed a survey of U.S. consumers who indicated being exposed to brands that use AI, and Study 2 utilized an online experiment with a fictitious automotive brand with varying levels of transparency about AI use (high vs low vs none). Ultimately, this research shows brand success in using AI as a promotional hook depend on balancing consumers’ inherent optimism about AI’s innovative potential with the need to avoid triggering resistance among those who hold negative predispositions toward AI.
