What happened
Retailers are facing operational challenges ensuring product data consistency for AI recommendation engines. As 69% of US consumers plan to use AI while shopping this holiday season, AI platforms like ChatGPT and Gemini pull product information from a mix of retailers and publishers. This varying source mix can create a potential blind spot for brands.

Why it matters
The reliance of AI models on diverse information sources means that a brand may fail to appear in recommendations even if they advertise across search, social media, and retail media. This affects how retailers can stand out during promotions and prove the value of their offers.
There is increasing investment in AI-driven tools and recommendations within the commerce media industry.
