Shoppers and Retailers See Benefits from AI in the Store

AI is reshaping in-store retail experiences – consumers want personalization and convenience, while retailers are seeing big gains in efficiency and cost savings. Our latest survey reveals how both groups are benefiting from AI, what’s working, and where the gaps still are.

Key Findings Include:

  • Younger shoppers embrace AI, older shoppers are cautiously curious
