Abstract

The advancement of Artificial Intelligence has redefined User Interface design, driving proactive personalization to optimize User Experience and Digital Marketing strategies. This research aimed to evaluate user perceptions of the functional utility of AI-assisted personalization and contrast it with ethical barriers related to privacy.

Through a descriptive analysis based on a survey of advanced technology users, the results validate the existence of a personalization paradox. 92% of respondents consider instant interface adaptation “essential”, and 98% perceive a positive functional value in AI that saves time. However, this high demand for efficiency clashes with distrust: 75% express concern about the use of their personal data, and 60% consider the use of environmental or biometric data “intrusive”.

The main conclusion is that the gain in usability does not compensate for the loss of control, establishing a functional and ethical boundary that directly impacts marketing strategies and brand loyalty. The research suggests that the future success of AI-powered personalized UIs depends on algorithmic transparency and the implementation of privacy by design mechanisms, further capitalizing on the 94% consensus on AI’s potential as a tool for accessibility and inclusion.
