Increasingly, digital success depends on AI—in the form of intelligent chatbots and recommender systems, more flexible and efficient supply chains and distribution networks, enhanced product designs, and much more. No enterprise can afford to overlook the potential benefits.
Data is the “oil” of the digital economy. AI projects simply won’t succeed without access to the right datasets. One of the benefits that a CoE can deliver is an organized catalog of available datasets, both existing and new. In addition to existing company datasets like data extracted from corporate systems of record, production data, and customer preference data, AI operations often require additional datasets from external sources.

Retailers use artificial intelligence (AI) to look at product images and information about what customers are browsing in real time, along with their previous buying patterns, to make accurate and personalized recommendations.

For example, even after a purchase is made, AI can offer accessories, warranties, and other logically related items. Al helps marketers understand the behaviors of their audience and analyze marketing placement to make certain that ads and campaigns are effective and are served appropriately.
AI is making online shopping even easier. Zalando (shoes and fashion), Pinterest (recipes and home ideas), and Omnious (fashion) speed up shopping with AI. Online retailer Zalando uses deep learning and GPUs in its extremely efficient Optimal Cart Pick algorithm. Pinterest uses AI to streamline its shoppers’ “pin” searches and identify best matches. Omnious has engineered an AI-driven, automated tagging engine that tags fashion images 100% faster than humans can.
Jet.com (e-commerce), Modiface (beauty apps), and Olay (skin care) use AI to empower savvy shopping. With AI optimizing suppliers, warehouses, and offers, Jet.com can fulfill orders at the best prices possible. Modiface combines AI and modeling technology to let customers experiment virtually with makeup before buying.
