[Walmart CEO: AI Will Improve Nearly All Aspects of the Business] Odaily Planet Daily News – Walmart CEO John Furner stated that he believes artificial intelligence will enhance nearly all aspects of the company's operations, making the shopping experience better for customers and work easier for employees. During a conference call with analysts, Furner highlighted the AI shopping assistant Sparky as a prime example. 'The number of customers using Sparky has increased by 70% compared to last year, and customers and members who shop with Sparky spend 40% more per order than those who don't,' he said. 'Recently, someone told me they asked Sparky for a weekly meal plan featuring high-protein, healthy foods. Within seconds, Sparky provided recipes and meal kits, and with one click, all the necessary ingredients could be added to the shopping cart.' (Jin10)
