Abstract: The retail industry has experienced a profound transformation with the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and automation technologies, enabling businesses to meet growing consumer demands for personalized experiences at scale. This paper explores how AI-driven automation is reshaping customer interactions in retail by delivering tailored experiences, optimizing operational processes, and enhancing customer engagement. Through a combination of literature review and case study analysis, this research examines the various AI applications, such as recommendation algorithms, predictive analytics, and automated customer service, that have been successfully implemented by retailers to personalize interactions with customers. The study also investigates the operational benefits of AI, including improved inventory management, dynamic pricing, and marketing strategies. Key findings indicate that AI-powered tools not only contribute to higher customer satisfaction and loyalty by providing highly personalized offers and recommendations but also allow retailers to scale these experiences across large customer bases. Additionally, AI automation facilitates operational efficiencies, reducing costs and improving the accuracy of demand forecasting. However, challenges such as data privacy concerns, integration complexity, and the need for skilled personnel are also highlighted. The paper concludes that AI-driven automation represents a significant opportunity for retailers to gain a competitive edge in a rapidly evolving market. The research suggests that while AI offers substantial advantages, further exploration is needed to address ethical concerns and fully understand the long-term impact of these technologies on both customer behavior and business performance.
