The big idea
Even your local grocery store uses AI! Robots roll the aisles checking shelves, and AI helps decide which deals to send you in the app.
Some examples
- Some stores have rolling AI robots that scan for empty shelves.
- Self-checkout cameras use AI to spot if a barcode was missed.
- Grocery apps use AI to suggest stuff you usually buy.
- Stores use AI to guess how much milk to order each week.
Try it!
Next time you go grocery shopping, look for self-checkout cameras or rolling robots. That's AI at work!
