What’s AI doing for market research?
AI, at its core, refers to machines performing tasks that typically require human intelligence, such as recognizing patterns, generating text, or sorting data.
In market research, we’re mostly talking about:
- Machine learning: Tools that learn from data and get better at predictions or classifications.
- Natural language processing (NLP): Teaching machines to understand and respond to human language.
- Generative AI/LLMs: Tools that create content (like summaries, follow-ups, or reports) based on training data.
These aren’t replacing researchers; they’re enhancing what you already do with speed, scale, and a few surprises along the way.
