AI comes to grocery shopping in Canada

The second largest supermarket grocery chain in Canada is rolling out new technology. Using terminology like "enhance the shopping experience" and describing the technology Ahmed Beshry, co-founder of cart manufacturer Caper, said the carts will soon be able to recommend items and help consumers shop for specific recipes. Products can be paid for on the spot instead of waiting at the cashier checkout. Cameras will eventually be added so that customers won't even have to scan items themselves. A touchscreen displays items inside the cart and promotions for other products.
