"AI for Retail is a practical guide for how to integrate AI into brick-and-mortar retail practices to make businesses more efficient. It will start with the three common answers to "what is the future of retail?" and why they are wrong: nothing will change, Amazon Go will take over traditional stores, and there will no longer be grocery stores. What's the right answer? Traditional retail businesses need to use AI to automate all back-office, self-checkout, curbside, and delivery processes. Large companies like Amazon have mandated that every manager in their business, HR, accounting, and product departments must adopt AI. The problem is most retailers do not have an AI strategy and will be left behind as savvy companies take the lead. AI for Retail provides powerful case studies about how AI is being used in retail today and how much value it adds. It will expose the complexity of retail and why only AI can solve it in the long term"--
