Both can be used in this context. They are often used interchangeably. In general, the choice between "will" and "shall" often depends on the speaker's intonation and the context of the sentence. "Shall" is often used to indicate a sense of obligation or duty, or to make a suggestion or offer. "Will" is used to indicate something that is going to happen in the future, based on a decision or promise made by the speaker.
Both are correct, however in contemporary English, 'will' is widely used in the daily life context. On the other hand, we see use of 'shall' in a sort of legal documents such as term & conditions and agreements.
In general, "will" is affirmative for future tenses. Also, For a very formal statement or describe an obligation, it'd be better to use "shall"

Both are correct
It is “will” unless it is an answer to someone who you are under the authority of and you’ve been convinced the other person’s way is best. I would say “shall” follows a debate in which the one higher in hierarchy proved their point.
I shall is the correct one
In most cases, "will" is the more appropriate choice in everyday conversation. However, if you want to convey a stronger sense of obligation or formality, "shall" could be used.
