This report shows we are in a new era of AI-driven marketing, and understanding customer perceptions of AI is now essential for marketers looking to enhance the consumer experience and increase customer lifetime value (CLV).
AI Personalization
AI-driven personalization had 51% percent of respondents noting it was an overall positive experience. Among this group, 27% find it “very positive” because it significantly enhances their shopping experience. Even among those who view AI personalization as “somewhat positive,” its helpfulness is recognized despite occasional inaccuracies. A quarter of respondents remained indifferent, while 24% expressed negative sentiments, with 13% finding it intrusive and 11% preferring brands not to use AI.
AI Transparency
Sixty-three percent (63%) of consumers claimed they can detect when AI is used in marketing campaigns, highlighting the need for transparent AI integration. Instead of concealing AI’s role, retailers can build further trust with their customers’ acceptance of AI by openly incorporating it into their strategies.
AI’s Accurate Recommendations
Nearly half of consumers (46%) have purchased based on AI recommendations. Among these, 25% have done so repeatedly, citing AI’s consistently accurate recommendations. For brands, AI’s accurate recommendations can be a boon to impact customer satisfaction and loyalty positively.
Navigating Data Privacy Concerns
While the report highlights positive sentiments, it also underscores the importance of addressing data privacy concerns, with 34% of respondents expressing this as a top concern. Additionally, 19% of consumers felt that AI recommendations were occasionally “over-personalized,” emphasizing the delicate balance between customization and intrusion.
