Amazon's Just Walk Out Technology Just Got Even More Accurate - Here's What's New
AWS News, Wednesday, July 31st, 2024
New, advanced AI model increases accuracy, making the technology scalable to new locations, so you can skip the checkout line at more stores globally.
I'm excited to unveil the latest advancement in the technology behind Just Walk Out, our checkout-free service for retailers. A new multi-modal foundation model further increases its accuracy by using the same transformer-based machine learning models underlying many generative AI applications, and applies them to physical stores. We accomplish this by analyzing data from cameras and sensors throughout the store simultaneously, instead of looking at which items shoppers pick up and put back in a linear sequence. For retailers, the new AI system makes Just Walk Out faster, easier to deploy, and more efficient. For shoppers, this means worry-free shopping at even more third-party checkout-free stores worldwide.
