The Future of AI in Retail: Fueling Change for the Industry - insideBIGDATA

In this special guest feature, Matt Field, President and Co-Founder of MakerSights, says there's no denying that AI and ML are starting to change the nature of the retail industry. One of its greatest benefits will be in how intelligent automation can be used by humans to augment their jobs. Drawing from his extensive background in both retail and technology as the former employee #1 at Birchbox, Matt is helping to transform the way brands develop and bring to market new products by combining voice of the customer software and predictive analytics. Through the MakerSights platform, leading apparel, accessories, footwear and home brands are able to de-risk their most important product decisions, making more of the products their customers want, and driving greater speed and profitability across their businesses. Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are no longer just buzzwords of tech giants and consulting firms.
