| Summary: | The objective of the study is to examine the practical implications of using artificial
intelligence (AI) based solutions in the case of retail mobile applications, to enhance the
online shopping experience and improve the engagement by also having in mind the
privacy of the users. We examined 117 shopping applications available in the Google Play
market and investigated the permissions required for each application and the categories of
personal data collected from the users. Based on the information gathered, we provided
practical methods to integrate artificial intelligence-based solutions to offer a new set of
services, partially unavailable in physical stores. Some of the permissions identified, if
exploited by malicious users, can affect individuals’ privacy. The fact that artificial
intelligence is a fast-developing technology constitutes the main challenge in the effort of
creating proper regulations. This research provides practical directions regarding the
benefits of integrating artificial intelligence solutions in retail mobile applications in an
ethical manner, protecting the users’ privacy. |
