The Impact of AI-Generated Content on E-Commerce
The rise of AI-generated content (AIGC) is significantly altering the landscape of e-commerce by intensifying competition for consumer attention. Brands must now contend with a staggering number of influencers—approximately 175,000 in China alone—trying to capture consumer views and drive sales. This democratization of content creation empowers more individuals to become key opinion consumers (KOCs) and key opinion sales agents (KOSs), reducing the reliance on traditional key opinion leaders (KOLs). The use of generative AI tools allows brands to create realistic digital avatars, enabling them to generate content quickly and efficiently, thereby transforming the influencer marketing game.
