This study investigated the determinants of intention to reuse augmented reality (AR) apps. The data were obtained from 439 IKEA Place app users and evaluated using 'partial least squares' (PLS) 'fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis' (fsQCA) approaches. PLS findings revealed that AR attributes significantly influence perceived ease use, usefulness, confirmation. All relationships under technology continuance theory confirmed except for impact usefulness on attitude. Recreational consciousness positively moderates attitude intentions. fsQCA approach uncovered seven configurations variables result in high intentions identified satisfaction as a necessary condition. contributed literature by (i) exploring drivers Apps, (ii) extending theory, (iii) demonstrating moderating recreational consciousness, (iv) PLS-fsQCA approach. help develop strategies design apps aimed at retaining users.

The banking industry is infusing AI systems into service encounters while dissolving some traditional services. This study aims to empirically test an exploratory framework identify how human-AI interactions differ when engaged in basic or advanced virtual agent usage contexts. A conceptual was developed examine consumer perceptions of and intentions. Five independent variables trust AI, perceived security expertise, comfort using technologies, need for social presence were explored. Data collected from 322 respondents analyzed multivariate regression. findings suggest that consumers do not perceive with agents a “one size fits all” approach. Consumers different value-in-use based on the complexity Our results success may require robust interaction. Additionally, this extends digital servitization robot acceptance model (sRAM) literature by evaluating empirical evidence.

The integration of artificial intelligence in pathology has ignited discussions about the role technology diagnostics-whether serves as a tool for augmentation or risks replacing human expertise. This manuscript explores intelligence's evolving contributions to pathology, emphasizing its potential capacity enhance, rather than eclipse, pathologist's role. Through historical comparisons, such transition from analog digital radiology, this paper highlights how technological advancements have historically expanded professional capabilities without diminishing essential element. Current applications pathology-from diagnostic standardization workflow efficiency-demonstrate augment accuracy, expedite processes, and improve consistency across institutions. However, challenges remain algorithmic bias, regulatory oversight, maintaining interpretive skills among pathologists. discussion underscores importance comprehensive governance frameworks, educational curricula, public engagement initiatives ensure remains collaborative endeavor that empowers professionals, upholds ethical standards, enhances patient outcomes. ultimately advocates balanced approach where expertise work concert advance future medicine.

Shuang Ma, Lin Ge, Michael Jia, Yonggui Wang In recent years, the use of service robots in lodging, dining, and retail sectors has become more prevalent. Service offer various benefits, such as reducing operational costs, improving efficiency, enabling 24-hour support, ensuring consistent quality. However, our research indicates that firms do not uniformly benefit from robot deployment across all settings. Specifically, we show customers’ relative preference for over human providers is lower luxury services than mainstream services. We call it disadvantage This arises because robots—as nonhuman providers—cannot make customers feel they are being served a prestigious customer superior social status providers. To address this challenge, propose two effective strategies firms. First, may emphasize concept equality their communications. Second, frame an exclusive privilege. Both approaches can mitigate resistance to

This systematic review examines the impact of prioritisation and eligibility criteria on social services’ intake processes. By analysing 22 studies from nine countries over three decades, this identifies key patterns in how these influence access to assistance. Using thematic analysis, study highlights that automation has improved efficiency by reducing administrative costs wait times, but also created barriers for older adults, migrants, individuals with limited digital skills. Additionally, gender intersectionality play a crucial role, men facing stricter requirements migrant women experiencing higher approval rates. The findings reveal professionals’ subjective perceptions decisions, introducing biases affect equitable resource distribution. While systems streamline service delivery, they lead inconsistencies across different centres, potentially reinforcing inequalities. emphasises need balance fairness, ensuring do not become exclusionary mechanisms.
