Amazon has opened its first store in Seattle: Its called Amazon Go and the unique aspect is that once you place items in your cart or bag, you dont need to stop at the register. No, its not some sort of charitable supermarket, but rather a new type of store run by artificial intelligence, which recognizes individuals and deducts the amount owed for their purchases directly from their account credit. The AI (artificial intelligence) that controls the Amazon Go environment follows each customer, noting each item taken and any that may be put back, so no errors are made and there are no charges for products not brought home. With an always-updated list, the assistant keeps track of the customer until they exit the store, deducting the total amount from their account. This new model is generating a controversial discussion about the current and future models of Retail Management and Merchandising.
