Abstract
In the service industry, artificial intelligence (AI) has not only transformed consumer experiences but also fostered exciting new fusions of art and technology (ArtTech). Creativity in AI-based artworks involves using AI algorithms to develop innovative forms, shapes, figures, and patterns, resulting in the creation of novel artworks. It fosters an immersive experience, deeply engaging visitors within the artistic environment. However, research in the area remains scant. As such, the current study draws on affect-as-information theory and the associative information processing model to examine how AI-generated immersive experiences influence emotion, cognition, and the downstream effect on word-of-mouth (WOM). The findings show that creativity in AI-based artworks positively affects WOM. Furthermore, immersive experience and feeling of comfort act as mechanisms, serially mediating the influence of creativity in AI-based artworks on WOM.Keywords
