Participants watched a video clip demonstrating how an AIsystem creates various clothing designs by altering garment elements (e.g., style,size). After watching the video clip, they were asked to answer a series ofquestions about the AI-designed clothing and themselves. The collected datawere analyzed using AMOS 26.0. ​Results showed that, for male and femaleconsumers, the quality value of AI-designed clothing led to enhanced WTP andWOM. However, emotional value and perceived ease of shopping appeared to bemore crucial in increasing WTP and WOM for male than female consumers.
