Walmart is going all in on using generative artificial intelligence to help customers save time by automatically restocking their refrigerators and more, CEO Doug McMillon said Tuesday at the tech conference CES.
The company on Tuesday announced three new AI-powered technologies that reflect retailers' increasing integration of AI tools into the shopping experience, and which could make shopping both in-store and online feel more like a futuristic experience.
The announcements come as other major U.S. restaurants and retailers are investing in AI to improve customer and worker experiences, as well as to boost their bottom lines. For example McDonald's has partnered with Google to integrate AI technologies into its restaurants, and this year plans to roll out new AI-powered software for all customers and restaurants.
