Challenges in AI-Powered E-Commerce – Balancing Performance and Customer Experience

Chris Dev - Nov 4 - - Dev Community

AI in e-commerce is rapidly evolving, from improving search functionality to personalizing product recommendations. Sky Solution is focused on creating AI solutions that enhance user experience while managing the technical challenges that come with scaling these solutions. Some of the key challenges we’re working through:

Handling Large-Scale Data Efficiently: In e-commerce, AI needs to process massive amounts of data quickly. This requires not only robust algorithms but also a solid data pipeline. We’ve found that combining batch processing with real-time processing helps balance performance and cost. How do you handle data management at scale?

Personalization vs. Privacy: AI-based personalization is effective but requires deep insights into user behavior. Balancing personalization with privacy has been a big focus. Does anyone have experience with using federated learning for privacy-safe personalization? I’d love to learn how others are approaching this.

Mitigating Bias in Recommendations: Ensuring fair recommendations is important in e-commerce to avoid unintentional discrimination against certain products or vendors. Techniques like counterfactual fairness have been promising. How are you managing bias in your e-commerce AI solutions?

Building AI for e-commerce comes with unique challenges, and I’d love to hear about the methods and tools others are using to address them!
