Anthropomorphism was positively associated with product trust, but its relationship with perceived value was not significant. Perceived value and product trust both positively predicted purchase intention. The mediation analysis showed that perceived value mediated the relationships of expertise and interactivity with purchase intention, but did not mediate the effect of anthropomorphism. Product trust mediated the relationships between all three AI virtual streamer characteristics and purchase intention.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>AI virtual streamer characteristics influence consumer acceptance of upcycled foods through different psychological pathways. Expertise and interactivity strengthen both perceived value and product trust, whereas anthropomorphism mainly supports trust formation.
