Still, troubles arise in perfecting the technique of optimizing consumer reviews. By leaving this work for artificial intelligence to tend to, there are a variety of ways a business’ online reputation can see improvement.
Firstly, it’s important to analyze why online reputation even matters. Consumers value transparency, integrity, and ethical business practices when deciding how much they trust a company.

The retail sector has significant plans for AI implementation through the use of cameras, robotics, chatbots, and more; however, the use of AI in reputation management is unique.
