<article> <section class="page"> <p> Amazon wants customers to be able to leave their wallets at home and still go shopping, as long as they have their smartphones on hand.</p><p> The online retail giant is opening up a brick-and-mortar store in Seattle called Amazon Go, and the store uses a mix of sensors and computer learning to track what items customers pick up and to automatically add them to their Amazon accounts.</p><p> Amazon identifies each customer using a QR code, which individuals scan before entering the store. The store offers groceries, ready-made food, and Amazon meal kits. Currently, Amazon Go is only accessible to the company’s employees, but Amazon says it will open its doors to the public in early 2017. </p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/3147803/mobile/amazon-replaces-cashiers-with-ai-and-computer-learning.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article> Source: Amazon replaces cashiers with AI and computer learning (http://www.macworld.com/article/3147803/mobile/amazon-replaces-cashiers-with-ai-and-computer-learning.html#tk.rss_all) |
