A Japanese supermarket introduces AI-powered surveillance to analyze customers’ shopping habits and suggest personalized recommendations.
The system tracks customers as they shop, using computer vision and AI algorithms to identify items placed in their carts. This data is then processed to generate personalized product suggestions based on individual preferences and past purchases. By leveraging AI in this way, the supermarket aims to enhance the shopping experience, increase customer engagement, and ultimately boost sales. However, the move has also raised concerns about privacy and data security, prompting discussions about the ethical implications of using such technologies in retail settings.
