Addressing gap, we conduct a systematic review 89 studies using Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta‐Analyses (PRISMA) approach to synthesize AI‐based CE literature. Our yields three major CE, including (i) Increasingly accurate service provision through ; (ii) Capacity (co)create consumer‐perceived value , (iii) CE's reduced effort their task execution . We also develop conceptual model that proposes antecedents personal, technological, interactional, social, situational factors, consequences consumer‐based, firm‐based, human‐AI collaboration outcomes. conclude by offering pertinent implications theory development future research questions derived from proposed CE) practice reducing costs brand/firm interactions).
