The robo-bias in online reviews: chatbots collect higher but shorter ratings

Discover how the use of chatbots for collecting online reviews leads to higher ratings but less detailed feedback. Learn why policymakers are considering regulations to prevent bias in online reviews.

Reviewing from a distance – the inbuilt bias

Researchers found the correlation between negative words and numerical rating gets stronger the further away reviewers are from the restaurant.
