Keywords:
Artificial Intelligence (AI), Augmented Reality, E-Commerce, Machine Learning (ML)Abstract
The rapid growth of e-commerce has led to the need for innovative technologies that can elevate customer experiences and adapt to changing market dynamics. This paper delves into the transformative role of artificial intelligence (AI) and advanced algorithms in reshaping online shopping. Focusing on applications of augmented reality (AR), machine learning for market trend analysis, and insights into consumer behavior, the study provides a thorough overview of the current landscape and future directions for AI-driven e-commerce solutions.
By examining existing literature, this research highlights how AI can personalize shopping experiences, making recommendations that resonate with individual preferences and enhancing customer engagement. It also explores the effectiveness of AR technologies, which enable consumers to visualize products in their own spaces, ultimately increasing their confidence in purchasing decisions. Additionally, the paper discusses how machine learning can analyze consumer sentiment and market trends by harnessing data from social media, empowering businesses to make informed choices. The findings emphasize the potential of AI and algorithms to create a more immersive and efficient online shopping experience while addressing ethical considerations surrounding data usage.
