Unmanned technology opens up new retail era artificial intelligence to change human life.
Amazon Go, Amazon's unowned store, is finally open to the public at its Amazon headquarters in Seattle.After 14 months of waiting, consumers around the world have finally been able to see the "face" of a non-cashier-free, self-service, unattended store.
According to foreign media reports, there is no Amazon Go shop located in 7 th Avenue and Blanchard Street at the junction, consumers want to Go in consumption, need to download AmazonGo intelligent application in mobile phones, and log in Amazon account.
The wind sneaks into the night.
In Amazon Go, Amazon's unowned store, you can clearly see the application of unmanned technology.Consumers need to have the system scan their phones when they Go to Amazon Go, and then the camera and other sensors in the store track their path to shopping in the store.The virtual shopping cart is updated when consumers remove items from the shelves.The customer's amazon account will charge a fee when the customer selects and leaves the store.The tracking devices combine a video camera and a laser array that can be used to analyze images, and the same technology is used in autonomous driving to help drivers identify people and objects in the field of vision.
Behind the widespread use of unmanned technology is the progress of artificial intelligence.As a leading global technology of artificial intelligence of a few big Internet companies, one of Amazon's unmanned shop Amazon Go to create a new consumption patterns, people no longer need waiting to check in the shop, don't have to carry cash, all the function of supervision and settlement to the machinery to deal with, make shopping easier, direct and convenient.
The change of the technology revolution to consumption pattern is quiet and silent.Ten years ago, Chinese consumers still lingered in supermarkets, picking up monotonous items and standing in long queues at the checkout counter.Ten years later, the younger generation of consumers are barely able to get out of their homes, easily buy personalized goods on the Internet, and quickly get the goods they need in electronic settlement.This huge change is happening all over the place.Without gunfire, without fire, Internet technology has overwhelmed countless consumers with its enormous convenience.It is a premonition that intelligent technology, which is more powerful than Internet technology, will bring about a wider range of changes in human life.
In a recent interview, Google CEO sundar pichai said that artificial intelligence has changed people's lives and jobs even more than fire and electricity.At the same time, Google and qualcomm have reached a partnership, and qualcomm will be equipped with Google's smart AI -- Google assistant -- on its upcoming smart home platform.Can look forward to is, if the qualcomm platform for the intelligent household commercial success, then people will be able through the AI butler ordered way, control the home including fridge, TV, washing machine, all electrical appliances, and AI can also learn each user unique used in home appliances, use solution for users with personalized home appliance.
Whether from the lifestyle or consumption habits, artificial intelligence is gradually penetrating into the social life of human beings, as the drizzle nourishes the new intelligent ecology.
Artificial intelligence concerns.
Not everyone applauds the application of smart technology.Grocery unions in the United States are critical of the opening of the unmanned Amazon Go, fearing that automated cashiers will reduce demand for the second most common job in the United States.While there are staff at Amazon Go, their job is to sort out the shelves, check the customer's ID, and make up the store for the store.
Foreign scientists say the future of artificial intelligence is not just about disappearing jobs.Recently, Facebook's artificial intelligence experiment, two robots began to communicate in their own language.Alice and Bob, the chatbots, speak English in an experiment and turn it into a language that is easier for them to communicate with, and only they can understand it.The phenomenon has prompted some high-profile figures, including Facebook founder mark zuckerberg, to be wary of artificial intelligence.They worry that, in the near future, humans will not be able to control the development of AI.
However, whether people are happy or fearful, the new intelligent ecology has entered all aspects of human life and promotes the future development of human society.
