AI and digital marketing are essential components in modern marketing strategies that can enhance efficiency and personalize consumer experiences. AI is used for data analysis, content personalization, chatbots, and market trend prediction, while digital marketing involves marketing through digital platforms such as social media, email, and search engines. This study examines the influence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and digital marketing on consumer purchase intention, particularly among Generation Z in Sukabumi City. The study utilized an associative methodology combined with a quantitative strategy, gathering information through online surveys from a sample of 100 participants. The data was then analyzed using SEM with PLS. The findings of the research indicate that AI and digital marketing play a crucial role in shaping consumer intentions to make purchases. AI enhances ad relevance and consumer satisfaction, while digital marketing enables companies to reach a wider and more diverse audience. The integration of AI in digital marketing has proven to increase personalization, sales conversion, and customer loyalty. The R-Square value for the consumer purchase intention construct is 0.821, indicating that the model used has good capability in explaining variations in consumer purchase intention. These findings confirm the importance of implementing AI and digital marketing in marketing strategies to increase consumer purchase intention and achieve optimal results.
