Three Quarters of Web Stores Not Ready for AI Shopping

A recent investigation by tech company Channable found that most web stores are poorly or not prepared at all for a world where consumers shop via AI. The company analyzed the product feeds of 10,000 sellers and gave three quarters a grade lower than a six, indicating a significant lack of readiness for AI-driven shopping. This news is happening in the Netherlands, as reported by Emerce.nl.

This lack of preparedness has significant implications for social commerce, as AI shopping is expected to become increasingly prominent in the future. Web stores that are not equipped to handle AI-driven shopping may miss out on sales and struggle to compete with those that are better prepared. As a result, it is essential for web stores to invest in AI-related technologies and strategies to remain competitive in the market.
