Figure 1 – Growth of AI Technology Adoption in Business Processes [1]
The relevance of integrating AI and GenAI into B2C
strategies lies in their ability to dramatically
enhance the personalization of customer
interactions, which is crucial in the modern
consumer sector. The automation of routine
processes and the making of more accurate, data-
driven decisions significantly boost operational

for innovation, enabling the creation of products
and services that have the potential to
revolutionize the market.
Analysis of McKinsey reports reveals a rapid
increase in the use of GenAI, with 65% of
respondents reporting its regular application,
which is double the previous year’s figures [1].
Notably, many players in the B2C sector have
started exploring and experimenting with GenAI,
demonstrating a growing interest in the
technology's potential and adaptability to various
business processes. Companies can choose from
several AI and GenAI adoption strategies, each
representing a trade-off between cost and level of
customization. Mainly, it’s a balance between:
1. Taking existing technology (off-the-shelf
solutions) and deploying it. Pros: low cost, rapid
deployment. Cons: not customized for specific
company needs.
2. Customizing an existing solution or building a
proprietary solution. Pros: more tailored to the
company’s specific requirements. Cons: higher
cost, longer development and deployment time.
For core functions such as promotion management,
pricing, and other critical business processes,
companies often prefer to develop their own
customized solutions. Conversely, for non-core
functions such as HR, Legal, and Finance,
companies tend to leverage off-the-shelf solutions
available in the market.
However, the implementation of AI and GenAI
raises several ethical concerns, including data
privacy and potential algorithmic bias. These
aspects require careful consideration when
developing AI integration strategies in B2C
companies, balancing innovative potential with
ethical responsibility [1-4].

THEORETICAL FOUNDATIONS OF AI AND GENAI
INTEGRATION IN THE B2C SECTOR
The integration of AI and GenAI in the B2C sector
represents a complex area of research,
encompassing the evolution of technologies, their
key components, and their potential applications in
the context of consumer interaction. A fundamental
understanding of these aspects is critically
important for the effective implementation of AI-
driven strategies in B2C companies [3].
The evolution of AI and GenAI is characterized by a
transition from specialized algorithms to
multifunctional systems capable of generating
content, making decisions, and interacting with
users on a qualitatively new level. A key milestone
in this evolution was the development of deep
learning and neural networks, leading to the
emergence of models capable of processing natural
language and generating human-like responses.
The transformation of AI from rule-based systems
to self-learning models has opened new
possibilities for personalization and automation in
the B2C sector.
GenAI, as an advanced direction of AI, is based on
the principles of generative adversarial networks
(GANs) and transformer architectures. These
technologies enable the creation of models capable
not only of analyzing but also generating new
content, significantly expanding their application
range in B2C. The key advantage of GenAI is its
ability to understand context and generate relevant
responses, which is especially valuable in customer
service and personalized marketing.
In the context of a GenAI system, the architecture
often includes several key layers and components:
1. User Experience Layer: This layer deals with the
interface and interaction that users have with the
GenAI system, such as chatbots or other interactive
applications.
2. GenAI Layer: This consists of:
●
GenAI Applications: Specific applications
that utilize generative AI models to perform tasks
such
as
content
creation,
personalized
recommendations, and automated responses.
●
GenAI Pipelines and APIs: This includes
frameworks for developing GenAI applications,
guardrails for safe and effective AI deployment,
compute services, and API gateways for integrating
with other systems [11, 12].
3. GenAI Models/Hubs: Foundational large
language models (LLMs) like GPT-4, model hubs for
accessing these models, and hosting services for
deploying them [13, 14].
4. Data Layer: This layer encompasses the storage
and management of data that the GenAI system
uses, including vector stores for embedding text
meanings, prompt stores for managing AI prompts,
and chat history for maintaining context in
conversations [15].
5. Control Plane: Essential for monitoring and
managing the performance of the GenAI system.
This
includes
logging,
monitoring,
and
performance tracking to ensure the system
operates efficiently and securely [12, 15].
These layers collectively ensure that a GenAI
system can effectively process data, generate
meaningful outputs, and provide a seamless user
experience while maintaining operational integrity
and security.
The application of these technologies in the B2C
sector opens unprecedented opportunities for
creating
a
hyper-personalized
customer
experience. For instance, the use of NLP and NLG
allows the development of intelligent chatbots
capable of engaging in natural dialogues with
customers, providing personalized support 24/7.
Computer Vision technologies are used in
recommendation systems, analyzing users' visual
preferences and suggesting relevant products.
The potential of AI and GenAI for B2C companies
extends far beyond customer service. These
technologies transform the entire consumer
interaction cycle, from targeted advertising to post-
sales service. Predictive Analytics allows for
