Since the advent of artificial intelligence, a number of studies have focused their attention on understanding its importance in the corporate setting. To this effect, this study seeks to assess the influence of artificial intelligence on customer experience and customer loyalty; as well as the mediating effect of personalization on this relationship. A quantitative online survey was conducted and 636 responses were gathered. The gathered data were analysed using IBM’s AMO for SEM and a number of findings were made. It was discovered that artificial intelligence yields positive and significant (p<0.05) influence on customer experience, customer loyalty, and personalization. The influence of artificial intelligence on customer experience and customer loyalty is also mediated by personalization. Thus, it was concluded that companies seeking to develop strong customer loyalty and customer experience should integrate artificial intelligence into their product and service delivery process and this should be supported with personalization.
