AI sets a new battlefield for e-commerce players

  • “But AI is changing all of this, and adding tools which make the arsenal owned by e-commerce companies look archaic. Many malls in India and abroad are already adopting AI services which allow them to learn who the customer actually is.
  • The cameras installed in the malls are performing face recognition, and matching it back to the available database, where very rich and contextual information is stored about the customers.
  • Companies like Inkers are providing advanced retail analytics to offline retain chains which can tell retailers whether the customer walking in is a high-value customer or not, or whether he/she is walking in with the family, or the kind of stores visited prior to visiting their store, or even whether they came in a luxury car or simply walked in.
  • AI is bringing a new battlefield for the e-commerce players and AI analytics are helping offline retailers fight back.

“Love the face recognition features on the Nest Cam IQ but don’t love the camera’s $300 price tag. You’re definitely not alone. Luckily there are some other options out there that are just as good for a fraction of the cost, and one is the YI Home Camera 3 1080P Wireless Security Surveillance System Smart IP Indoor House Cam. This great camera uses AI technology to identify faces, and you can create custom alerts based on whose face is recognized.
