AI just vetoed your product.
Our new consumer research found that 51% of AI shoppers have abandoned a purchase after AI flagged concerns about a product.
Think about that: Half of consumers using AI for shopping have walked away from buying something because an algorithm raised a red flag.
Here's what's triggering the veto:
-AI synthesizes review patterns (not just star ratings)
-Incomplete product specifications
-Unsubstantiated claims that can't be verified
Brands have no idea this is happening. There's no notification when ChatGPT or Google AI steers a customer away from your product.
We're diving deep into this "veto power" phenomenon during tomorrow's webinar: "The New Blind Spot: Why AI Is Sending Your Customers to Competitors" - February 25th at 10:00 AM CT | 11:00 AM ET
Reid and I will share Envision Horizons' latest research findings, and show you exactly how to audit whether AI is working for or against your brand.
