description This study examines both technological and human perspectives on social commerce platform adoption. It analyzes user interactions, social networks, and peer recommendations to investigate the influence of social factors on adoption decisions. Furthermore, it examines how artificial intelligence is used to adapt social commerce. This study uses UTAUT2 and Social Cognitive theory to develop a consumer adoption model. Data were collected primarily through survey questionnaires. Structural equation modeling and confirmatory factor analysis were used to examine data from 460 respondents from different countries. According to the findings, consumers adopt social commerce platforms if they believe they are convenient and easy to use, supporting the theories of the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology 2 and Social Cognitive theory. Behavioural intentions are influenced by social influence, habit, hedonic motivation, and AI-related experience, and trust moderates the effects.AI tools, such as chatbots and recommendation engines, can target certain consumer categories better by leveraging insights on behavioural factors influencing SC adoption. Several AI-enabled tools, such as chatbots, AI user experiences, personalized suggestions, and intelligent algorithms, are changing how players engage with SC platforms. This study will offer a novel perspective on how AI affects users' behaviour by examining the relationship between AI technology and SC adoption.
