AI needs to start pulling its weight and controlling our shopping carts

Artificial intelligence is in our phones, beginning to control our money, and giving robots some decision-making powers. But Carnegie Mellon professor Manuela Veloso, incoming head of JPMorgan's AI research division, is frustrated that things aren't further along. "I came from the Boston airport last night and I didn't see a single mobile robot anywhere on my way here," she said. After her decades of work in AI research, Veloso is ready to see more mobile robots in our everyday lives. She envisions a future where everything with wheels, from suitcases to shopping carts, will automatically follow you at a single command.
