Shoppers could browse, pick up items, and walk out of the checkout area without needing to queue and scan their items. All these are powered by AI – how amazing is that? As a result, Amazon would have 24/7 operation, no wages, and overtime pay which benefits them in the long run as compared to a human cashier.
