How AI is revolutionizing e-commerce
Let us start from the very beginning. Artificial Intelligence has evolved over a period of time.
In the 1950’s AI started off as a program that could sense, reason, act and adapt.
In the 1980’s, came ‘Machine Learning’. Now computers began to learn without being programmed.
Come 2010, ‘Deep Learning’ allowed machines to mimic the way in which the human brain works.
The last stage of AI’s evolution, deep learning, is what makes AI invaluable for e-commerce. Machine learning that can not only analyze customer data but use that data to anticipate customer needs in order to create personalized experiences. Today, artificial intelligence provides personalized experiences for customers across devices and is revolutionizing both, conversations and content.
Using AI and Big Data, businesses can monitor their competitors’ product mix and marketing strategies. AI provides businesses the ability to adjust their own product-mix and pricing in real time with high accuracy – an impressive competitive advantage that provides complete visibility into what products are being offered in the market. The intelligent software puts retailers in a strong position to make specific assortment and planning decisions, and track the business impact of those actions.
E-commerce sites now have the ability to harvest products data from competition sites and find the best price for all SKUs. They can, therefore, offer a ‘Best Price Guarantee’ and improve sales turnover. The ability to harness data is enabling masses of big data to be utilized to form actionable customer segments and individual offers and incentives to increase sales and customer retention.
