Customers left confused after shopping at Amazon Go

Amazon has launched its AI-powered checkout-free supermarket today after more than a year of testing, prompting confusion and humor in the Twitterverse. The'Amazon Go' supermarket has no checkouts and instead works by tracking what users buy with AI-powered cameras and weight sensors, but has lead to some users accidentally shoplifting. The grocery store on the bottom floor of the company's Seattle headquarters allows shoppers to scan their smartphone with the Amazon Go app at a turnstile, pick out the items they want and leave. The tech mega-company still has some kinks to work out. A CNBC tech reporter accidentally shoplifted a yogurt when the cameras failed to notice it, but the company responded'it's on us' with a winking emoji.
