How are retailers using artificial intelligence right now?

By now, most of us are comfortable with the idea that artificial intelligence (AI) is here to stay and that it holds enormous potential to change the way the world works. However, to the average person, the conversation can seem dominated by visions of the future, with experts keen to discuss what AI will do, rather than what it does right now. AI is making a practical impact as we speak, and for industries such as retail, it is already forming a fundamental part of a business strategy. AI learns from data and in particular, it learns how to predict. These predictions can be used in many applications and then integrated into business systems and processes to automate and truly harness the power of AI.
