Why is it important?

Despite the potential benefits, research on the acceptance of AI within the financial sector remains limited. This study proposes an innovative and comprehensive theoretical model that combines UTAUT2 with an extension of the TAM model, with an intention to recommend the technology construct and two understudied moderators in literature, namely awareness and familiarity, offering valuable insights into factors influencing the adoption and the intention to recommend the technology.

Perspectives

This research contributes to the yet understudied body of knowledge on AI adoption in the financial sector. The findings provide valuable insights for financial institutions seeking to effectively implement AI solutions and enhance user acceptance within the sector.
