Episode 88
Dominik believes that while AI is often adopted quickly without enough regulation or long-term planning, it's a natural part of societal evolution and has the potential to bring benefits that outweigh the risks.
One of the most exciting aspects of AI for retail is hyper-personalisation. With the help of AI-powered chatbots like ChatGPT, companies can better understand their customers and provide more tailored experiences. Though as AI capabilities improve, customer understanding will increase, and companies will need to find new ways to satisfy their customers' growing expectations.
But AI also comes with risks. If customers feel like they are being too closely monitored or their privacy is being invaded, they may become alienated from the brand. Additionally, the rise of the metaverse, a virtual world where people can interact with each other and with brands, presents new challenges for retailers looking to engage with customers in this new medium.
Overall, Dominik stands optimistic about the future of AI in retail, but acknowledges the need for responsible adoption and management of these technologies.
