Abstract | Recent years have seen the rise of virtual influencers such as Lil Liquela and Imma with over a million followers in social media platforms. Virtual influencers are pure digital characters with characteristics that emulate real individuals. As organizations look to use virtual influencers as digital celebrities to endorse their products and services, it remains unclear if virtual influencers will be effective. While virtual influencers offer several potential advantages including cost-effectiveness, flexibility, and novelty, there are also several ethical, psychological, and legal challenges in designing and using them. |
