Common words on job adverts that women think are intimidating and too masculine

Daily Mail - Science & tech

Job adverts which use the words'ambition' and'drive' may deter women from applying. Stereotypically masculine job descriptions can leave women feeling'intimidated' and worried about facing a'boys' club', a study has found. When researchers removed'masculine' terms like entrepreneurial from an advert, they found the proportion of women applying increased by four per cent. Men who were not alpha male types were also more likely to go for the job. Dr Joyce He, who led the study from the University of California, Los Angeles, said: 'Changing the language of a job advert, which is such a small and cost-effective thing to do, could encourage women to apply and be more inclusive for everybody.

Turkey gets all the attention. Cranberry sauce ruffles feathers. But pumpkin pie is the lovable staple many Americans crave on Thanksgiving. And many don't want to make it themselves. That's why Sam's Club, a retail and grocery warehouse owned by Walmart, is using artificial intelligence to predict how much pie each of its nearly 600 stores needs to make for the holidays.Subscribe to The Post Most newsletter for the most important and interesting stories from The Washington Post.

Sam's Club's AI knows how much pumpkin pie you'll eat this holiday

Washington Post - Technology News

In April of 2019, Walmart launched an Intelligence Research Laboratory where cameras and sensors are wired into algorithms to monitor how stocked shelves are. In March, Kroger launched an AI lab where technology can keep track of vegetable freshness. Ketchup maker Kraft Heinz now uses machine learning to track demand for its products leading up to events such as the Super Bowl. Amazon opened a fully automated Whole Foods this year that uses deep-learning software to let customers shop and walk out without needing a cashier.

#artificialintelligence

BENTONVILLE, Ark. and SAN DIEGO, Ca.--Sam's Club has completed a roll out of inventory scanning towers that have been added to its existing fleet of floor scrubbing robots. The club store had started adding the inventory towers to its robots in January, and now all locations have the technology added. "Our initial goal at Sam's Club was to convert time historically spent on scrubbers to more member-focused activities. Our autonomous scrubbers have exceeded this goal. In addition to increasing the consistency and frequency of floor cleaning, intelligent scrubbers have empowered associates with critical insights," said Todd Garner, vice president, in-club product management.


The Technology Behind Sam's Club, Walmart's Membership Warehouse Store

#artificialintelligence

While Sam's Club at first glance may seem like a typical warehouse retail membership club, look beyond the pallets of packaged food and tabletops stacked with designer clothing, and you'll see an operation committed to using technology to improve the experience of customers – or members, as they are called – and its own operations. Case in point -- the company introduced the Scan and Go mobile phone app in 2016, allowing customers to avoid the check-out lines by using their mobile phones to scan barcodes themselves and then click a button to check out and pay. The service made shopping more convenient for the members who used it in 2016. But it really stood out as visionary when the pandemic hit in 2020. Scan and Go provided a contactless shopping experience at a time when the guidance on COVID was to "social distance" by staying 6 feet away from anyone else.
