GNW The global artificial intelligence (AI) in retail market attained $720.0 million in 2018 and is predicted to witness a CAGR of 35.4% during 2019–2024 (forecast period). The factors contributing to the growth of the market include the increasing investments in AI by retail companies and expanding e-retail industry. With AI, retailers have been able to automate their work processes, study consumer behavior, and capture relevant data through the adoption of numerous advanced technologies, such as machine learning, natural language processing (NLP), and computer vision. When technology is considered, the AI in retail market is divided into computer vision, NLP, machine learning, and others (which include gesture recognition and analytics). Machine learning generated the highest revenue during the historical period (2014–2018) and is expected to dominate the market during the forecast period as well.

Walmart is a leader in the push to adopt artificial intelligence and machine learning. Still, the world's largest retailer runs into many of the problems other organizations experience when pursuing the advanced technology. The company currently employs roughly 1,500 data scientists and 50,000 software engineers throughout the enterprise, according to chief data officer Bill Groves, who directly oversees a smaller staff of 100 tech workers. A Walmart spokesperson did not respond to a request to confirm those numbers. Those employees help support the over 100,000 different machine learning or AI-based projects the organization currently has in production.

Hollywood has promised us all manner of futures yet to be realized--from flying cars to commercial interstellar travel. Maybe it's a by-product of my chosen career, but I've always been particularly intrigued with what the future holds for consumer experiences. In the post-scarcity, retail-space-at-a-premium economy that we seem to be hurtling towards, it is increasingly unlikely that buying decisions will be made in the midst of cavernous row-upon-row depots jam-packed with products on top of each other. No one debates this; rather, they debate what will come next. Walmart is making headway on what the future of retail might look like.

By Avik Chanda In 2013, as a fresh B. Tech graduate, Shranik Jain lived and breathed only technology – his chief interests at that time were all centred around the intricacies of Intel's 3D Tri Gate Transistor. But six years on, his work as a Product Manager for IndiaMART InterMESH Limited has taken him to an area that traditionally wouldn't have been in the remit of his job description. "Over the years, significant changes have taken place in the product management role," explains Shranik. "We are now focusing majorly on User Experience Design. The primary emphasis is on customer empathy, while leveraging techniques like machine learning, thereby assisting us in better decision making."
