Amazon set to open doors on AI-powered grocery store
As the rest of us wait in checkout lines during our Sunday evening grocery shopping, folks in Seattle eagerly await tomorrow's public opening of the first store to eliminate the need for cashiers. The much-anticipated Amazon Go grocery store will open its doors to the public on Monday, January 22nd. The AI-powered shop encountered several challenges along the way to completion which delayed its launch by almost a year. After working through the kinks and successfully testing the store's technology among reviewers and employees, it seems as though Amazon is finally ready to serve the masses with its automated storefront. Before entering the Amazon Go store, a shopper must download the free Amazon app and link it to their Amazon shopping account.
