"Amazon's 'Just Walk Out' Technology Stumbles in India and Raises Questions About AI's Future"
TL;DR Summary
Amazon's Just Walk Out technology, which allows customers to bypass traditional checkouts, actually relies on roughly 1,000 workers in India to review about 700 out of every 1,000 sales. Amazon has disputed this claim, stating that the team in India mostly helps train the model used for Just Walk Out. The company is planning to replace Just Walk Out at Amazon Fresh stores with its Dash Carts, which provide additional features such as easily finding nearby products and deals, viewing receipts, and knowing how much money was saved while shopping.
