Google's new AI shopping tool just changed the way we shop online - here's why
In recent years, Google Search's shopping features have evolved to make Search a one-stop shop for consumers searching for specific products, deals, and retailers. Shoppers on a budget can scour Search's Shopping tab during major sale events to see which retailer offered the best deal and where. But often, consumers miss out on a product's most productive discount, paying more later because they don't want to wait again. During this year's Google I/O developer conference, Google aims to solve this problem with AI. Shopping in Google's new AI Mode integrates Gemini's capabilities into Google's existing online shopping features, allowing consumers to use conversational phrases to find the perfect product.
3 ways Google's AI Mode is going to change how you shop online
Online shopping has never been perfect. If I'm online scouting for a good deal on a pair of shoes, I have to sort through several options, sizes, colors, and price points to find what I want. And if I want to buy the shoes at a discount, I have to wait several weeks or months and come back when the price drops. At Google's annual developer event, Google IO, the tech giant is debuting an AI-powered solution to online shoppers' problems in the form of AI Mode. AI Mode offers online shoppers several options for finding exactly what they want, virtually trying on the clothing before they buy, and tracking prices to buy when a product is at its lowest.

Amazon makes 'fundamental leap forward in robotics' with device having sense of touch
Amazon said it has made a "fundamental leap forward in robotics" after developing a robot with a sense of touch that will be capable of grabbing about three-quarters of the items in its vast warehouses. Vulcan โ which launches at the US firm's "Delivering the Future" event in Dortmund, Germany, on Wednesday and is to be deployed around the world in the next few years โ is designed to help humans sort items for storage and then prepare them for delivery as the latest in a suite of robots which have an ever-growing role in the online retailer's extensive operation. Aaron Parness, Amazon's director of robotics, described Vulcan as a "fundamental leap forward in robotics. It's not just seeing the world, it's feeling it, enabling capabilities that were impossible for Amazon robots until now." The robots will be able to identify objects by touch using AI to work out what they can and can't handle and figuring out how best to pick them up.
Sam's Club is adding AI to the shopping experience. Why are privacy advocacy groups worried?
Sam's Club is going register-free and introducing an all-digital, AI-powered shopping experience for its customers, a move that has privacy advocates worried that the new AI tool could be used to unfairly target some customers with higher-priced items based on their shopping habits. The all-digital approach started with the reconstruction of a Sam's Club in Grapevine, a suburb of Dallas, that was severely damaged in 2022 by a tornado. When the retail location opened two years later it was the first of its kind to ditch its registers for a "Scan and Go" program that allowed customers to scan each item placed in their physical cart and pay through a mobile app. This program has since been piloted in nine Dallas metro locations and one store in Missouri, Retail Dive reported. Instead of handing a receipt to a Sam's Club employee to review before leaving the store, customers walk through an arch that's equipped with AI-powered cameras to capture images of the items in the cart and electronically match them with the items paid for through the app. Sam's Club did not disclose when the AI technology would be coming to California stores but Sam's Club has outlets in Torrance, Fountain Valley, El Monte and Riverside.
