In this study, they conducted a series of online experiments to investigate how job advertisements addressing AI use affect viewers\u2019 attitudes and behavioral intentions (positive word-of-mouth) toward companies using AI during hiring.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">During the study, participants viewed a job advertisement mentioning either the benefits of using AI during hiring or the drawbacks of not using AI during hiring and answered questions about their attitudes and behavioral intentions toward the company they viewed during the experiment. They found that participants displayed more favorable attitudes and behavioral intentions when job advertisements highlighted the negative outcomes of not using AI during hiring (i.e., longer wait time and more unconscious hiring bias), compared to job advertisements addressing how AI benefits job applicants (i.e., faster recruitment process and reduced bias). The research project was funded by the Arthur W.
