But Amazon's'Fresh' shopping concept - which uses AI to track customers - may instead be remembered as a failed experiment in mass surveillance. The tech giant has announced that it has made the'difficult decision' to close all 19 Amazon Fresh stores in the UK - putting up to 250 workers at risk. Amazon claims the closures are the result of a'thorough evaluation of business operations and the very substantial growth opportunities in online delivery'.


Amazon's Just Walk Out at Fresh stores 'relied on more than 1,000 people in India watching and labeling videos to ensure accurate checkouts' - and NOT AI tech as company claimed

Daily Mail - Science & tech

Amazon's Just Walk Out technology is touted as an AI-powered checkout system at its Fresh grocery stores, but new reports have claimed it used 1,000 people in India to monitor buyers. The company is now walking out on its own the technology that promised an innovative alternative to cashiers by using cameras and sensors to scan each item and is switching to a self-checkout shopping cart called Dash Cart. An Amazon spokesperson said they do have people watching cameras at Just Walk Out locations to annotate video images, but claimed the associates aren't monitoring customers. The Information first reported that Amazon's artificial intelligence technology just meant outsourcing hundreds of jobs overseas to workers who can watch you shop in real time. Amazon has referred to Just Walk Out as'a combination of sophisticated tools and technologies that added items to the shopper's'virtual cart' when they take an item off a shelf, and remove it when they put it back.


Amazon to open full-size grocery store that lets shoppers walk out without having to see cashier

Daily Mail - Science & tech

Amazon is set to open its first full-sized grocery store which will let shoppers walk out without having to pay a cashier. The 25,000-square-foot Amazon Fresh store, located in Bellevue, Washington, is set to open on June 17. It features an array of cameras and sensors that allows customers to skip the checkout line. The Just Walk Out technology uses computer vision, sensor fusion and deep learning to track items placed in a cart or basket, and then tallies up the bill to be paid with the person's Amazon account or designated payment card. The Bellevue location will be the first full-sized store to offer the technology, while also allowing traditional payment methods.
