This document discusses the growing use of artificial intelligence (AI) in retail. Spending on AI by retailers is expected to reach $5 billion by 2022 as it is projected to boost retail profitability by 59% by 2035. The biggest opportunities for AI in retail are seen as personalization, search, and chatbots. Machine learning and natural language processing are key technologies powering personalization through recommendations and conversational interfaces, while computer vision enhances visual search capabilities. Chatbots have the potential to improve customer service efficiency. However, implementing AI remains challenging for many retailers due to issues like a lack of data and AI talent.
