“How Artificial Intelligence meets your shopping preferences – It knows what you are buying - and what you want to buy”
When you do shopping online or visit a retail store,
your retail experience is the latest battlefield for the artificialintelligence (AI).
All about grinding the data!
To
understand the opportunities and threats for all major retailers, it is very
important for these retailers to understand why has become an emerging trend
nowadays. Two important aspects are: Data and Computing Power. Computing power is
something which you can experience in your hand 24*7 i.e. your Smartphone because
these phones have far better computational
power in comparison to desktops/laptops. Organizations can
easily access and utilize the unlimited computing power to train their
Artificial Intelligence algorithms. AI systems learning tools like machine
learning flourish on huge data sets. When these systems are fed
accurately with the help of this huge data
then they discover such trends and correlations that no human psychoanalyst
could ascertain. These machine learning tools help in automating the data which
helps the users to make a model that can then make constructive predictions
about the same data.
Why retail is suitable for AI?
The promptness
of AI deployment is different in retail sector and mainly stands on some critical
factors: The primary factor is the ability to test and quantify the customer
responses securely. Along with this they can also measure the effect on their
bottom line very easily. The second is small consequences of a fault. An AI
agent landing a passenger aircraft cannot manage to make a mistake because the
life is on stake of the people travelling. An AI agent doing job in the retail
sector makes millions of decisions every day can afford to make some mistakes,
as long as the overall effect is positive.
Your shopping habits
AI
can detect
underlying patterns in your shopping behavior from the products you
buy and the way in which you buy them. This could
be your regular buying habits of purchasing sugar/bread/milk etc. from the nearby
supermarket/from some specific applications online. For example these days
there is a trend of dual household income which says that both the spouses are
working so there are time constraints which forces them to take the help of
these online applications to cater their daily household needs at their
doorsteps which is also called as “Home Delivery” of products/services at your
convenience. So the AI identifies your day-to-day needs and preferences from
your usage of these apps for giving order and gives you notifications on your
mobile phone which serve as reminders of your requirements which you might
forget someday due to your busy schedule. In other word we can say AI analyses the
buying behavior of millions of consumers which also helps the supermarkets to
predict what families want daily/weekly. This automatically informs the inventory
management systems, to maintain optimum level of stocks of those specific
products scanned by AI.https://www.linkedin.com/in/jims-greater-noida/
