77% of retailers are not prepared for AI shopping as Channable launches AI Readiness Audit

A recent report revealed that 77% of retailers are not prepared for AI shopping, prompting Channable to launch an AI Readiness Audit to help businesses assess their AI capabilities. The audit aims to identify areas where retailers can improve their AI adoption and provide recommendations for implementation.

This development matters for social commerce as AI shopping is expected to revolutionize the way consumers interact with brands and make purchases online. With the rise of AI-powered chatbots, personalized product recommendations, and automated customer service, retailers that fail to adapt to AI shopping risk falling behind their competitors. As social commerce continues to grow, the ability to leverage AI will become increasingly important for businesses to remain competitive.
