Finding gift ideas accounted for 51%, behind price comparisons at 55% and ahead of checking reviews or ratings at 46%. Released on June 9, 2026, the Wakefield Research study showed widespread enthusiasm for assistance but more caution over payments. While 94% thought AI made shopping easier and faster, 23% trusted AI agents to complete checkout. Seventy-eight percent had purchased through social platforms. Forty percent reported experiencing a financial scam in the previous 12 months; among scam victims, 45% said the incident involved social media. The findings linked expanding shopping channels with continuing security concerns. Respondents expected banks and payment institutions to help protect them. Fifty-three percent wanted real-time warnings about suspicious activity, while 84% believed AI would have an important future role in fraud prevention. Visa described security as central to consumer confidence in emerging shopping services. ## Sources and documents ExpandCollapse * [Visa survey tracks growing use of AI for gifts in Kuwait](https://www.visa.com/en-kw/newsroom/ai-shopping-fraud-study-kuwait?utm%5Fsource=giftcard.news) — visa.com ## In this article ### Companies * [Visa](https://giftcard.news/company/visa/) Share [ ](https://x.com/intent/post?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgiftcard.news%2Fresearch-trends%2Fvisa-survey-tracks-growing-use-of-ai-for-gifts-in-kuwait-5358781d2024%2F%3Futm%5Fsource%3Dx%26utm%5Fmedium%3Dsocial&text=Visa%20Kuwait%20Study%20Examines%20AI%20Gift%20Discovery%20and%20Payment%20Fraud%20Concerns "X") [ ](https://www.linkedin.com/sharing/share-offsite/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgiftcard.news%2Fresearch-trends%2Fvisa-survey-tracks-growing-use-of-ai-for-gifts-in-kuwait-5358781d2024%2F%3Futm%5Fsource%3Dlinkedin%26utm%5Fmedium%3Dsocial "LinkedIn") [ ](https://wa.me/?text=Visa%20Kuwait%20Study%20Examines%20AI%20Gift%20Discovery%20and%20Payment%20Fraud%20Concerns%20https%3A%2F%2Fgiftcard.news%2Fresearch-trends%2Fvisa-survey-tracks-growing-use-of-ai-for-gifts-in-kuwait-5358781d2024%2F%3Futm%5Fsource%3Dwhatsapp%26utm%5Fmedium%3Dsocial "WhatsApp") ![Portrait of Maya Bennett](https://giftcard.news/images/variants/v1/maya-bennett-editorial-portrait-w320.webp) About the author ## [Maya Bennett](https://giftcard.news/author/maya-bennett/) Journalist — Rewards & Loyalty Maya Bennett covers customer loyalty, employee rewards and incentive programmes for Gift Card News.
