AI is rapidly evolving, but when it comes to health and wellness, building consumer trust is paramount. Our latest data reveals a significant opportunity for growth:
- Only 12% of shoppers have used a general AI tool in their health and wellness routine.
- Trust levels remain low, with just 23% trusting general AI tools and 19% trusting AI specifically for therapy.

These insights highlight the critical need for transparent, reliable, and user-centric AI development in the health sector. To dive deeper into consumer attitudes and the evolving retail landscape, download our full How America Shops® report today: https://buff.ly/knCnLFk

Ali discusses the challenges of a saturated beauty market where shelf space is limited. She emphasizes that true brand differentiation and long-term success come from building a compelling story and an emotional connection with consumers.
