"Amazon's 'Just Walk Out' Technology Stumbles in India and Raises Questions About AI's Future"

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.

"Amazon Abandons 'Just Walk Out' Technology for Grocery Store Checkouts"

Amazon is phasing out its checkout-less grocery stores with "Just Walk Out" technology, replacing it with Dash Carts and self-checkout counters. The move comes as the company aims to improve the reliability of its checkout systems and expand its presence in the supermarket industry. Just Walk Out, which relied on cameras and sensors, faced challenges such as delayed receipts and offshore cashiers rewatching videos to assign items. Amazon Fresh stores will now feature the new Dash Carts and self-checkout counters, signaling a shift away from the expensive and labor-intensive Just Walk Out technology.
