Background of the Study

Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to revolutionize sales forecasting by analyzing large datasets, identifying patterns, and predicting future trends with greater accuracy (Smith & Rogers, 2024). Retail businesses in Plateau State, which often deal with fluctuating customer demands, can significantly benefit from AI applications in sales forecasting to optimize inventory, improve marketing strategies, and maximize revenue. This study will evaluate how AI is being implemented in sales forecasting by retail businesses in Plateau State.
