Walmart Global Tech

AI Alert!🚀   We’ve all been there. You’re considering a subscription for your favorite paper towel brand, but the frequency question is holding you back. How many rolls will you need per month? What if you miscalculate and run out, leaving you in a mess with nothing to clean it up?    Here’s the good news: Starting this week, Walmart is using AI to take the guesswork out of subscriptions. Instead of customers tracking their usage over time to figure out what’s best - or simply subscribing based on what’s most common, we’ll use advanced AI technology to estimate the ideal subscription frequency.    This AI starts by considering past purchases and usage patterns, and over the coming weeks and months, it will become even more personalized and accurate. We’ll fine-tune it with comprehensive data, factoring in elements like skipped subscriptions or item serving sizes. #AI #TeamWalmart

AI is accelerating capabilities within our supply chain to make sure we get our customers the items they want – where, when and how they want them. We spoke with Fox Business Network this week about how AI works behind the scenes to drive automated operations at Walmart's next-gen regional distribution center in Brooksville, FL. #SupplyChain #RetailInnovation #Walmart
