Problem statement:

Continuous interaction with digital environments can lead to information overload, emotional exhaustion, stress, and mental health issues like anxiety and depression. This digital fatigue, particularly from social media and excessive smartphone use, is exacerbated by poorly designed interfaces. To address this, Human Computer Interaction (HCI) principles should focus on designing interfaces that reduce stress by minimizing notifications, optimizing information architecture, and enhancing accessibility. The goal is to create user-friendly interfaces that mitigate digital technology fatigue and improve user experiences.

Problem statement:

AI is transforming e-commerce by enabling personalized customer experiences, improving engagement and satisfaction (Anderson & Johnson, 2024). AI-driven tools like predictive analytics, chatbots, and recommendation systems enhance customer interactions, boosting conversion rates and retention (Balasubramanian, 2024). However, trust and loyalty remain challenges, as customers are wary of data handling, algorithmic decisions, and transparency in AI recommendations (Davoodi & Mezei, 2024). Trust significantly influences consumer behavior, and a lack of transparency in AI-driven personalization can undermine loyalty (Anderson & Johnson, 2024; Davoodi & Mezei, 2024). As AI adoption grows, a trust-centric framework is needed to strengthen user confidence and ensure long-term loyalty in AI-powered e-commerce (Davoodi & Mezei, 2024).

Research objective :

a. To examine the critical determinants of customer trust in AI-driven e-commerce platforms.

b. To investigate the relationship between AI-driven personalization, customer trust, and long-term loyalty.

C. To propose a framework for AI implementation in e-commerce that enhances trust and customer loyalty.

Research Question:

The question this research seeks to answer is as follows:

1.      What factors influence customer trust in AI-driven e-commerce platforms?

2.      How does AI-driven personalization affect customer trust and long-term loyalty in e-commerce?

3. How can AI-based e-commerce frameworks be designed to enhance customer trust and foster loyalty?
