Using AI to Verify Human Advice Could Damage Your Professional Relationships
A new study in *Computers in Human Behavior* finds that professionals feel less motivated to work with clients who seek AI-generated second opinions, reacting more negatively than when clients consult another human advisor. Across four experiments involving 180‑300 participants in finance, travel, nutrition and real‑world advisory settings, advisors rated AI‑using clients as less competent and less warm. The researchers attribute the backlash to perceived threats to professional identity, noting that even minimal AI involvement—such as background research—triggers the effect. The work underscores subtle interpersonal costs of integrating AI into advisory workflows.
