The Future of Shopping? AI + Actual Humans.
AI has changed how consumers shop by speeding up research. But one thing hasn’t changed: shoppers still trust people more than AI.
Levanta’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 isn’t being replaced by AI, it’s being amplified by it.
Badge Cloning Tools Are Cheap and Ubiquitous
Proximity badges and RFID cards can be copied with $20 hardware. Physical security assumes uniqueness — but cloning undermines that trust. Intruders walk in with valid access.
Door Logs Don’t Verify the Right Person Used the Badge
Access control systems log badge usage, not identity. One badge can be shared, stolen, or borrowed. Cameras may exist, but log review is rare unless after an incident.
Tailgating Remains a Top Entry Method
People hold doors open out of politeness. Security training fades, and signs go ignored. Even secure areas become vulnerable to simple social engineering.

Visitor Management Systems Are Inconsistently Used
Some visitors get temporary badges; others walk in freely. Paper logs and unmonitored front desks leave gaps. Vendors and contractors bypass many access rules.
Alarm Systems Trigger but Don’t Alert in Real-Time
Silent alarms, propped door alerts, and after-hours access sometimes go unmonitored. The alerts exist — but no one sees them until it’s too late. Visibility ≠ response.
Physical Security is Often Siloed from Cyber Teams
Building security and infosec rarely coordinate. Physical breaches go uncorrelated with digital access. Attackers exploit this gap — entering physically, then moving digitally.
