SHOP WITH AI

The Future of Shopping? AI + Actual Humans.

AI has changed how consumers shop by speeding up research. But one thing hasnā€™t changed: shoppers still trust people more than AI.

Levantaā€™s new Affiliate 3.0 Consumer Report reveals a major shift in how shoppers blend AI tools with human influence. Consumers use AI to explore options, but when it comes time to buy, they still turn to creators, communities, and real experiences to validate their decisions.

The data shows:

  • Only 10% of shoppers buy through AI-recommended links

  • 87% discover products through creators, blogs, or communities they trust

  • Human sources like reviews and creators rank higher in trust than AI recommendations

The most effective brands are combining AI discovery with authentic human influence to drive measurable conversions.

Affiliate marketing isnā€™t being replaced by AI, itā€™s being amplified by it.

LATEST DEVELOPMENTS

Googleā€™s Translate app adds real-time speech-to-speech ā€œLive Translateā€ for any headset, rolling out in US, Mexico, India. Supports 70+ languages, uses Gemini for better idioms. iOS support coming in 2026.

Details

  1. Rollout (beta): The new ā€œLive Translateā€ feature is rolling out in the Translate Android app in beta.

  2. Headphones support: Works with any headset, no special hardware required. Previously limited to Pixel Buds.

  3. Availability: Launching in the US, Mexico, and India first; iOS and more countries planned for 2026.

  4. Languages: Supports more than 70 languages for real-time speech-to-speech translation.

  5. AI improvements: Gemini boosts translation quality, handling idioms contextually rather than literally.

  6. Learning tools: Expanded language learning features add more feedback and daily challenges.

  7. Apple comparison: Appleā€™s Live Translation exists, but live audio currently requires AirPods Pro or AirPods 4.

Takeaway: Googleā€™s headset-agnostic Live Translate undercuts Appleā€™s hardware lock-in, broadening instant translation access with Gemini-powered quality and a global rollout roadmap.

US signs AI order to boost innovation and security: streamline rules, expand talent and compute, set standards, and push federal AI adoption; some parts need Congress.

Details

  1. Scope: Focus: Innovation, national security, and global competitiveness.

  2. Regulatory streamlining: Action: Directs agencies to reduce red tape and speed AI approvals.

  3. Standards and safety: Action: Calls for risk frameworks, testing, and secure AI deployment in government.

  4. Compute and infrastructure: Action: Encourages expansion of AI chips, cloud access, and publicā€“private partnerships.

  5. Talent and immigration: Action: Seeks easier pathways for highā€‘skilled AI workers and researchers.

  6. Federal adoption: Action: Instructs agencies to deploy AI for services, cybersecurity, and productivity.

  7. International posture: Action: Positions the US against strategic rivals and aligns with allies on AI norms.

  8. Legislative needs: Note: Funding, immigration changes, and broader mandates may require Congress.

Takeaway: If implemented, the order could fastā€‘track US AI deployment, provided agencies execute and Congress backs key pieces.

Disney accuses Googleā€™s AI of reproducing copyrighted content at scale, demands takedown, training transparency, and stricter guardrails; Google disputes, citing fair use and safety systems.

Details

  1. Cease-and-desist filed: Claim: Disney alleges Googleā€™s AI outputs infringe by recreating Disney-owned material.

  2. Scope of alleged infringement: Issue: ā€œMassiveā€ replication of protected characters, scripts, and visuals via prompts.

  3. Demands to Google: Actions sought: Remove infringing content, disclose training sources, and block prompts enabling reproduction.

  4. Guardrails and filtering: Request: Stronger content filters, watermarking, and detection to prevent copyrighted output.

  5. Monetization concerns: Point: Disney challenges commercialization of AI features that may use its IP.

  6. Googleā€™s stance: Response: Pushback referencing fair use, synthetic output, and existing safety systems.

  7. Legal posture: Next steps: Potential litigation or negotiations; broader implications for AI training and outputs.

Takeaway: This fight could set a major precedent: whether AI-trained models can safely generate content without violating IP, and how platforms must police outputs.
