2026 e-commerce trends, reshaped by AI

The 'AI tax' grows as you grow, and only prepared brands come through. AI is no longer just a tool for efficiency: it decides whether a brand survives. We share the strategies that defend against AI-made threats and turn them into a chance to grow.

The AI paradox brands face now

  • 85%

    of global brands have seen brand threats accelerated by AI

  • 82%

    of global brands plan to invest more from 2026 to protect their brand's value more deeply

  • 46%

    of global brands feel AI threats cost them more than 10% of revenue

The problem

AI is already cashing in on your brand's success.

Counterfeits, impersonation, copied content: things that used to be easy to stop

now spread in bulk overnight, thanks to generative AI.

The bigger the brand, the bigger the target for copies and impersonators, and the faster a brand grows, the more "AI tax" it pays.

The opportunity

Some brands are pulling ahead with AI

AI is not only a threat.

Brands that put AI to real work are moving faster than their competitors. This seminar covers both: how to protect your brand's growth, and practical strategies to make your team more efficient with AI.

After the talks, light food and a networking session follow.

Talk freely with peers who face the same questions.
