Visa Reveals AI Shifts Holiday Consumer Spending

Visa released a November survey showing 47 percent of US shoppers used an AI tool for at least part of their holiday shopping, with gift discovery and price comparison common uses and 28 percent open to receiving cryptocurrency gifts. Younger adults, especially Gen Z, lead adoption of biometrics, social commerce and crypto, while consumers still prefer human customer service; Visa forecasts 4.6 percent holiday spending growth.
Key Points
