Abstract: Advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) allow the transition of such technologies from tools to teammates. Given the importance of trust in technology and teams, I explored team trust processes in human-AI teams. The mediating role of team trust in the relationship between team composition (human-AI vs. human-only teams) and team performance with propensity to trust intelligent technologies as moderator were investigated. An experiment with 84 two-member teams was conducted. Results indicated that human-AI teams performed lower than human-only teams but without significant differences in team trust. The moderation and mediation relationships were not supported. Directions for further research are discussed.
