Retailers urged to move from AI trials to execution before 2026 holidays

Original: Retailers Must Shift From AI Exploration to Execution Ahead of the 2026 Holiday Season

A new industry analysis argues that retailers can no longer afford to treat artificial intelligence as an experimental side project. With the 2026 holiday season approaching, the piece calls on retail businesses to move from exploration to real execution, deploying AI in operations, customer service and merchandising at scale. The message to the sector is that competitive advantage will increasingly depend on proven implementations rather than pilots.

Why now: Retailers are under pressure to turn AI pilots into deployed systems before the critical holiday shopping season.
