Amazon's New Data-Driven Convenience Store Uses AI To Check You Out

Amazon Go, a brick-and-mortar convenience store featuring automatic checkout, opened to the public in Seattle on Monday. Today for lunch, I stopped by a newly opened convenience store at the north end of Seattle's downtown. I grabbed a tuna wrap from the refrigerated display, shoved it into my pocket and made straight for the exit as casually as I could. On my way out, a store employee stopped me. I paused for a long second.
