Q: What is the one thing that will drive AI use in your business?

A: For us, the operative word is personalization. The more you can understand a buyer’s needs or desires, the more efficiently you can serve them and ultimately market to them. AI affords levels of personalization that we have not seen before, where we can easily extract information from customers with a much lower impact from their perspective.
