Synchrony and Oxford Economics: Trust Key for AI Shopping
A new study by Synchrony and Oxford Economics reveals that consumer trust is the primary factor driving adoption of AI-powered shopping and agentic commerce. The research, based on a survey of 2,000 U.S. consumers and interviews with industry leaders, found that data security (82%) and transparency (77%) matter more to consumers than convenience (58%). Fraud protection is a major adoption driver, with 67% of consumers willing to use AI more if it includes such safeguards. Consumers are comfortable delegating low-risk purchases under $50 to AI, but 46% would not use AI for purchases of $5,000 or more. The study highlights the need for businesses to build trust through protection, transparency, and control, and Synchrony is developing capabilities to help partners prepare for agentic commerce.
OpenAI launches ChatGPT for Teens
OpenAI launched ChatGPT for Teens, a protected ChatGPT experience for users aged 13–17 that is automatically applied to accounts that self-report or are estimated under 18. It bundles learning-focused features — Study Mode with step-by-step guidance, quizzes, learning visualizations, homework reminders and Study Hours — plus teen-specific onboarding and sensitive-image upload warnings. The product enforces stricter content rules (including limits on romantic/emotionally dependent language) to reduce exposure to self-harm, eating-disorder content, violence and sexual material, and it includes expanded parental linking and controls. Built on the Teen Safety Blueprint and age-prediction tools developed with external experts, the rollout offers an opt-out for teens’ chats being used in model training, a partnership with CodeAI for educational resources, and ongoing evaluations with published results on model behavior and safety for minors.
