In a time where ecommerce is being redefined by technology, understanding the role of AI is critical to success. While AI has made significant improvements in the retail landscape, it can also be misused by threat actors for more intricate attacks. It’s important for merchants to keep this in mind, especially as a recent report found that 84% of customers will abandon a retailer after fraud, and 42% will abandon a retailer after a false decline.

Join ClearSale and the MRC on May 29 to explore the complex relationship between AI and ecommerce, including navigating its potential as both a transformative force for retailers and a double-edged sword manipulated by fraudsters. This session will outline the hidden risks of adopting an AI-first approach to fraud management while offering an opportunity for members to find strategies that leverage AI as a positive force to drive growth.

Topics covered will include:

Understanding the transformative impact of AI on ecommerce for retailers. Awareness of how fraudsters exploit AI, posing risks to consumers and businesses. Recognition of the pitfalls of using AI for fraud detection, including false declines and associated costs.

Strategies for harnessing AI as a force for good in ecommerce and mitigating the risks involved.

“AI is a strong tool revolutionizing ecommerce, but it can come with a dark side,” said Bruno Farinelli. “This webinar provides a deeper look into the pitfalls that retailers face and offers attendees strategies for how to avoid them. Rick and I are looking forward to shining a light on hidden risks, like false declines and the high costs associated, while also stressing the necessary role of human intervention amid technological advancements.”
