Extracted verbatim from the SPG Q1 2026 earnings call transcript. Speaker, section, and specificity tier surfaced for each mention.
- T2Q&A· CEO· Internal useI think part of the thinking was getting a lot of data from the retailers would be valuable. Just maybe can you talk about how that's been sort of helpful in this sort of new age where everybody is focused on AI.
“as you mentioned AI, we're learning from them, too, and I think they're learning from us. We're comparing, again, different tools to use, different programs, how can we provide more customization for the consumer because these retailers, especially Rue La La and Gilt, are really good at that. And so we can learn from that.”
— Eli Simon, SPG earnings call
