Quite unlike what you may be inclined to believe, artificial intelligence has been around for quite a while. It's just that it is only over the past few years that the world has found d increasingly mainstream applications for it. Its adoption has multiplied in the recent past that you'd be hard-pressed to think of things where either artificial intelligence is not already being used or where its integration isn't being considered or worked upon. Think about it -- what do you think drives virtual assistants like Alexa, Google Now, Siri, and more? The point is that it isn't surprising to see that artificial intelligence also makes its way into e-commerce, which has firmly established itself as a leading way to shop today.
