AI serves as a disruptive force in market research by increasing efficiency, accuracy, and speed in data collection and analysis. It helps companies save time, reduce costs, eliminate bias, and improve customer relationships.
The Role of AI in Modern Market Research
Efficiency and Time Savings: AI, through features like Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Natural Language Generation (NLG), can understand diverse data types, enabling programs to generate individualized reports, saving significant time. By automating repetitive tasks, AI reduces the time spent on surveys, interviews, focus groups, and report generation.
Cost Reduction: AI can perform repetitive tasks faster than humans, cutting costs associated with conducting research. It can parse large amounts of open-source data, conduct sentiment analysis, and gather meaning from published pieces, which reduces research costs.
Reduced Bias: AI eliminates human bias by processing informational factoids objectively.
Improved Customer Relationships: By handling data collection and processing, AI allows teams to focus on investigating findings and connecting with clients.
Job Market Transformation: AI implementation may initially reduce administrative jobs, but it is expected to create new roles requiring specialized skills such as collaboration, communication, and creative problem-solving.
A more human business AI enables you to become a more human business. Companies spend so much time researching that they forget about the reason they started collecting data in the first place: the customer.
However, the implementation of AI also has some potential risks in the labor market. AI could lead to job displacement through automation. On the other hand, it can increase the demand for labor, create new jobs, and complement workers by making them more productive.
