Chicago, IL \u2013 February 29, 2024<\/strong> \u2013 AI-powered chatbots were deemed by U.S. shoppers as the most disruptive artificial intelligence (AI) applications causing friction in their online shopping experiences, the latest research from Intellias<\/a>, the software engineering and digital consultancy company.<\/p>\n Original research of over 1,000 U.S. shoppers by Intellias showed that AI chatbots are the most likely cause of friction when buying online, with 19% agreeing chatbots are the area where AI most disrupts their shopping experiences.<\/p>\n And while 44% said AI helped retailers and brand create more personalised shopping experiences, a further 20% said that interactions with AI chatbots were the most likely stage in their online buying journeys where they were most likely to abandon a purchase. This follows separate research by Talkdesk<\/a>, that found 68% of U.S. shoppers would lose trust in a brand if it gave them poor recommendations served to them by AI chatbots, and 53% said poor AI chatbot experiences would stop them from shopping with the retailer again.<\/p>\n However, almost half (46%) of the shoppers polled by Intellias said they didn\u2019t mind retailers using AI in their buying journeys as long as it wasn\u2019t clunky. In comparison, two thirds (66%) aren\u2019t adverse to retailers using AI to automate repetitive or monotonous tasks, but they don\u2019t want it to replace human interaction.<\/p>\n Going further, over seven in ten (71%) agreed that a blended experience of both automation delivered through AI and human interaction would always be needed in retail, regardless of how good the AI technology becomes in the future.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t
