Artificial Intelligence has become a reality in retail stores and this technology has important functions--especially today amidst a global pandemic--since it can be used to analyze inventory, allow contactless payments and even pick up products in the form of robots. AI use is becoming popular among retailers, as it is now being used in stores to facilitate the work of sellers and encourage people to buy more products. According to a Capgemini Research Institute study, by 2018 more than a quarter of retailers worldwide (28 percent) were implementing AI in their stores. The same study revealed that 98 percent of the 400 retailers that implemented the technology expected the number of customer complaints to decrease by up to 15%, while 99% expected AI to increase sales by the same amount.

Playform AI launched the limited-time exhibition this week with work from four artists, who include established names in the fine art word, new media specialists and a pseudonymous Instagram creator. The pieces range in price from about $60 to $1,500 and include wall prints, jigsaw puzzles, framed video screens and masks. The shop also features an augmented reality tool that allows prospective buyers to project artworks into their home before purchase. The startup is one of a handful of companies to venture into the AI art exhibition space as new advances in machine learning research have spawned a small but growing community of creatives, artists and technologists attempting to harness the power of AI in art. The key piece of a technology involved is a form of neural network called a generative adversarial network (GAN), which brands have already experimented with using for everything from deepfaked commercials to product design.

Well before Black Friday, there were tons of gaming deals swirling around the internet, like dust kicked up by the release of two new consoles: the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X. Now that the newest iterations are out, previous-gen games are seeing discounts all over the place. It's good timing with the holiday season upon us, but Covid-19 is still raging around the country, and most of us can't see family. Video games provide a great way to connect with loved ones at a safe distance. We hope our favorite Black Friday video game and accessory deals will help in these trying times.

If you like the Android TV ecosystem, NVIDIA's Shield TV is a great streaming option if you also want something a bit more powerful than a standard Chromecast. It's an even more compelling pick now that it's down to $129 in an early Black Friday sale -- that's an all-time-low price that has come around before, but not very often. This streaming device earned a spot in our holiday gift guide this year for being one of the more powerful dongles you can get thanks to NVIDIA's Tegra X1 processor. The company claims this chip is 25 percent faster than the X1 that came before it, and in the Shield TV, it's put to good use by helping power an AI-powered HD to 4K upscaler. That means lower-res footage will more closely resemble 4K footage when streamed with the Shield TV.
