Most US Adults Aren’t Ready for AI to Help With Holiday Shopping, Survey Finds
Far more people than last year are willing to use AI to help them find the right gift, but few want a bot handling their payment details.
AI Summary
More adults are open to using AI to help select gifts than a year ago, though most remain reluctant to let a bot manage payment information. The survey notes that AI can act as a personal shopping assistant, narrowing product choices, monitoring the best deals and even placing orders automatically. However, the willingness to delegate the actual purchase to AI remains low, indicating a gap between interest in recommendation features and trust in transaction handling.
