Consumer behaviour looks entirely different than it did a year ago. Lockdowns and shelter-in-place orders gave people more time to browse online, discover, and fall in love with existing and new brands. More than ever, consumers expect relevancy -- and their tolerance for unpurposeful experiences has plummeted. Loyal customers don't want every last bit of your content -- they want tailored experiences that offer the best products and information. They want meaningful quality rather than irrelevant quantity.

Artificial intelligence stocks are rarer than you might think. Many companies tout AI technology initiatives and machine learning. But there really are few -- if any -- public, pure-play artificial intelligence stocks. The "AI" stock ticker, though, has been claimed. Startup C3.ai, which sells AI software for the enterprise market, filed on Nov. 13 for an initial public offering.

What do you get for the person who has everything? How about an artificially intelligent robot sommelier that can securely store, manage and suggest wines from your collection? The Winecab Wine Wall does all that (hat tip to Boss Hunting), acting kinda like a very expensive automated wine vending machine that you'd find in only the poshest 7-Eleven. Wine Walls come in a variety of sizes, from the more modest Curio Classic model, which holds 130 bottles ($139,000) to the 15 ft. Wine Wall, which holds 600 bottles ($249,900).

High-quality machine learning (ML) models depend on accurately labeled, high-quality training, validation, and test data. As ML and deep learning models are increasingly integrated into production environments, it's becoming more important than ever to have customizable, real-time data labeling pipelines that can continuously receive and process unlabeled data. For example, you may want to create a consumer-facing application that regularly collects and sends new data objects to a data labeling pipeline, which produces labels and builds a dataset for model training or retraining. This pipeline creates a positive feedback loop that leads to more accurate, sophisticated models. Amazon SageMaker Ground Truth streaming labeling jobs provide infrastructure and resources to create a continuously running labeling job that receives new data objects on demand and sends them to human workers to be labeled. You can chain multiple streaming labeling jobs together to create more intricate and refined data labeling pipelines. Use this blog post to learn how to set up and customize Ground Truth streaming labeling jobs.

Autonomous vehicle startup Cruise has partnered with Walmart to deliver orders from a Scottsdale, AZ, Walmart store to local customers' homes, starting early next year. General Motors-backed autonomous vehicle startup Cruise has announced a partnership with Walmart to deliver orders from a Scottsdale, AZ, Walmart store to local customers' homes, starting early next year. Customers will be able to place orders to the store and have them delivered in one of Cruise's electric self-driving Chevy Bolts. If the pilot goes well, a Cruise spokesperson said, the company will mull launching on-demand delivery with other retailers in the future.

Commerce has evolved to eCommerce, and the'e' stands for more than'electronic'. It's more about'easy' now – easier to find products, compare across brands, purchase them and get them delivered on time. An important factor that helps make informed purchase decisions with ease, is to have complete product information on the product page. But, ever wondered what happens behind the scenes to create this seamless and'easy' experience? Imagine if a retailer needs to sell a simple, black office chair. How would the retailer describe that black office chair?

At the beginning of 2020, Artificial Intelligence (AI) was predicted to become what some experts called a "key ingredient" technology across many industries over the next decade. Fast-forward to today, and interest in AI is surging even more. As we are now deeply entrenched in the COVID-19 pandemic, the need to enhance manual business processes with more automation through AI has hit many industries with urgency, but especially retail. About two-thirds of executives surveyed by McKinsey in June said they had accelerated the implementation of robotics, artificial intelligence, and other emerging technologies in response to COVID-19. The retail industry has a unique opportunity to learn from Consumer behavior this year and implement AI solutions that can meet shoppers' needs in the long term.

Photographer: Luke Sharrett/Bloomberg © 2015 Bloomberg Finance LP Walmart has been investing heavily in robots, such as for cleaning floors. But the company’s efforts have not been without their challenges.  This week Walmart terminated its engagement with Bossa Nova Robotics, which is a developer of robots to track inventory in store aisles. This decision came after testing and using the technology for the past five years (about 500 robots had been in operation). So then why did Walmart do this? Well, it appears that a major reason was the ROI (Return on Investment). For the most part, humans could do the job more effectively than robots.  “Workers can perfo
