Walmart wants to use AI to track everything happening in its stores

Walmart has a vision for its store of the future. Sure, it includes the kinds of things you'd expect -- clean floors, well-stocked aisles, and plenty of shopping carts at the entrance -- but the remarkable part of this vision is how the retail giant plans to monitor all of those things: using an omnipresent artificial intelligence. In 2017, Walmart launched Kepler, a team focused on reimagining the shopping experience using the latest tech innovations. A small Walmart in Levittown, New York serves as the team's testing laboratory. According to TechCrunch, Kepler's next project will be the creation of a Intelligent Retail Lab right inside the Levittown location.
