Ben Page introduces July’s edition of Ipsos Update with his reflections on the mounting public concern about inflation and the consequences of this for consumer spending. Alongside updates on how people around the world are reacting to cost-of-living pressures, this month’s articles focus on topics which include the demographics and psychographics of Pakistan, and the changing global attitudes towards refugees. We also take a look at the latest Ipsos Views papers on the growth of commerce ecosystems, achieving intimate consumer connections in large communities, and the use of AI to predict future innovation success.
Artificial intelligence (AI) has grown in popularity in recent years. Voice and facial recognition software is developed in all technical gadgets. In this context, we are also beginning to see how AI can also alter market research, resulting in faster, cheaper, and better results.
Some of the most special episodes within the Ipsos Views series are those that feature our Global CEO, Ben Page. Listen to Ben discussing the social and commercial trends re-shaping our world, and hear him explain how to make sense of the gaps between how people answer surveys and how they behave in real life.
Inflation is a recurring theme in the articles featured this month. Other topics include the future of food, the role of cycling and how EU citizens view the EU’s response to war in Ukraine. We also feature our latest Ipsos Views on AI-enabled Consumer Intelligence and tech-enabled product innovations.
Happiness, Identity, and global reactions to the war in Ukraine are among the featured topics in this month’s edition. Also featured: our Earth Day 2022 reports, our latest white paper on regulating compliance and our post-election analysis from last month’s French presidential election.
This paper is recommended reading, by our Mystery Shopping experts, for any organisation – regulators and the regulated – interested in ensuring that frontline staff are adhering to regulatory standards and are treating customers fairly.
