AI is transforming how businesses function, how employees work, and how consumers interact with brands. Predictive AI is enabling real-time inventory tracking for demand forecasting and automatic restocking, as well as loss prevention by detecting unusual behavior patterns and unscanned items for potential fraud. Generative AI is enhancing the customer experience through personalized recommendations, improving engagement and conversion rates, and can enable instant assistance via AI agents, allowing employees to focus on higher-value tasks.
