This podcast episode discusses consumer trust in AI-powered shopping tools. The host cites a survey indicating that while many consumers encounter AI recommendations and chatbots, engagement is significantly lower. While acknowledging the limitations of self-reported data, the host argues that consumers often benefit from AI features without realizing it, citing Amazon's AI-generated review summaries as an example. The host concludes that while AI-powered improvements like summarized search results and reviews are beneficial, poorly implemented chatbots are detrimental to the consumer experience. The episode concludes with a promotion for an upcoming webinar on retail media.
