Background of the Study
Artificial intelligence (AI) has become a transformative force in customer service, enabling businesses to deliver personalized, efficient, and consistent experiences. In retail, AI applications such as chatbots, recommendation systems, and predictive analytics have significantly enhanced customer engagement and satisfaction.
Supermarkets in Nasarawa State operate in a competitive environment where superior customer service is a key differentiator. However, many of these businesses still rely on traditional methods, which can be time-consuming and inconsistent. Research by Onuoha and Hassan (2025) highlights that AI tools can address these challenges by automating routine tasks, providing personalized recommendations, and enabling real-time problem-solving. This study explores the effect of AI on customer service in retail businesses in Nasarawa State.
