Artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) have made inroads into enterprises for a variety of different uses, including decision support, product recommendations and process control. These fields are employing big-data concepts to train software algorithms to evaluate data and respond in a similar manner to human decision-makers. These systems are boosted by data collected in the problem domain and used to successively adjust the algorithms to model that domain. For example, a retailer might use detailed data on sales experiences to recommend additional products for shoppers to purchase. By correlating purchases made by past customers, the retailer may be able to entice shoppers to make larger purchases than they had originally intended.

Artificial intelligence has been enhancing the online shopping experience for some time: Put a new outfit in a shopping cart, and the store's website suggests the perfect accessories as well as another outfit you didn't know you needed. Start looking at a new flat-screen television and a reminder pops up that you also need HDMI cables and a TV mounting kit. Now AI is increasingly making its way to in-store settings. While robots and algorithms aren't going to take over the world (at least not anytime soon), AI can help human experts do their jobs more efficiently. Get the latest insights and innovations in retail at NRF 2022: Retail's Big Show this January. At Neiman Marcus Group, AI, analytics and machine learning play key roles in helping the company build long-term relationships with its customers.

Today AWS Step Functions expands the number of supported AWS services from 17 to over 200 and AWS API Actions from 46 to over 9,000 with its new capability AWS SDK Service Integrations. When developers build distributed architectures, one of the patterns they use is the workflow-based orchestration pattern. This pattern is helpful for workflow automation inside a service to perform distributed transactions. An example of a distributed transaction is all the tasks required to handle an order and keep track of the transaction status at all times. Step Functions is a low-code visual workflow service used for workflow automation, to orchestrate services, and help you to apply this pattern.

If you've wanted to add to your Google Assistant home setup without spending too much money, Best Buy has a new way that you could do that. The retailer has the original Nest Hub smart display for $40, or $50 off its normal price. This gadget came out in 2018 and has since been replaced by the sleep-tracking, second-generation Nest Hub -- but if you're willing to skip a few new features, you can get a largely similar device for one of the best prices we've seen. We gave the original Nest Hub, formerly known as the Google Home Hub, a score of 87 when it first came out for its lovely 7-inch display, charming minimalist design and extra privacy thanks to a lack of a camera. It makes a good smart alarm clock, even if it is slightly larger than something like the Echo Show 5, but it also won't look out of place on your kitchen countertop.

At "New World's" character creation screen, naming yourself "Jeff Bezos," Amazon's founder, produces a brief message: "This name cannot be used." As PC gaming publication Rock Paper Shotgun discovered, numerous variations like "Jeffrey B. Zos," "Jeff Bezoos" and "Jeff Bezozs" are also not allowed (Jeff Bezos -- as opposed to Jeffrey B. Zos, Jeff Bezoos and Jeff Bezozs -- also owns The Washington Post). "Amazon" is blocked as well, as is the name of its current CEO, Andy Jassy. All the other names currently listed on Amazon's officers and directors page, as well as names of prominent current employees such as former White House press secretary Jay Carney, are not filtered.

In the era of Big Data, businesses are faced with a deluge of time series data. This data is not just available in high volumes, but is also highly nuanced. Amazon Forecast Deep Learning algorithms such as DeepAR and CNN-QR build representations that effectively capture common trends and patterns across these numerous time series. These algorithms produce forecasts that perform better than traditional forecasting methods. In some cases, it may be possible to further improve Amazon Forecast accuracy by training the models with similarly behaving subsets of the time series dataset.

As Amazon's executives took the stage one after another yesterday to introduce the world to the company's "next big leaps forward," a sense of deja vu crept up on me. It only grew stronger as the event progressed, with many new Amazon products seeming incredibly familiar. The company has been criticized in the past for borrowing designs of popular goods and selling them for a lot cheaper. That's not an uncommon practice of course -- massive retailers all over America like Walmart and Costco have offered lower-cost store-brand lines forever. But none of them stage flashy keynotes to tout their products as "innovations."

"When companies are looking ahead to peak season…the word I'm hearing most often is'terrified,'" said Dan Johnston, chief executive and co-founder of WorkStep, a startup whose software helps companies hire and retain supply-chain workers. Top news and in-depth analysis on the world of logistics, from supply chain to transport and technology. Workers to fill online orders and push merchandise out to stores are in short supply in a tight U.S. labor market in which service industries say the lack of available staff is hampering their recovery efforts. Some warehouse employees say they are already working overtime under sometimes tough conditions to meet heavy consumer demand. "There is a huge amount of demand for jobs and people, and we have not shifted people across into our industry at the rate that demand has changed," said Kraig Foreman, president of e-commerce for DHL Supply Chain North America, a unit of Deutsche Post AG whose contract logistics customers include running-shoe maker Brooks Sports Inc. and Italian candy giant Ferrero International SA.
