This study attempts to unveil the role of artificial intelligence (AI), particularly chatbots, in social media marketing (SMM). The study applies self-determination theory and user gratification theory to investigate the driving forces involved in developing positive favorable behavior outcomes through using AI (chatbots) as a strategic weapon in social media marketing. Additionally, it employs fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) to research as a supplementary approach to identify the necessary and sufficient best SMM outcomes.
