Drones aren\u2019t new to Walmart \u2014 which has already completed 20,000 drone deliveries across seven states to date \u2014 but company leaders say that this expansion is a sign of growing demand and efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Walmart executives said no other rival has gotten this close to this type of drone concentration of households in a big metro market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Among AI advances, Walmart announced a generative AI-powered search tool for iOS users that suggests relevant products for consumer queries, ranging from&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/abcnews.go.com\/alerts\/NFL\"><u>football<\/u><\/a>&nbsp;watch parties to bridal showers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">The company also provided a glimpse into \u201cInHome Replenishment,\u201d which aims to use AI to learn consumers\u2019 shopping habits and keep them stocked on their favorite groceries, as well as a beta platform that allows customers to create outfits virtually and get feedback from their friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Meanwhile Sam\u2019s Club, which Walmart owns, has a new twist on checking out \u2014 whether it\u2019s with the \u201cscan and go\u201d technology, self-checkout or just using a traditional staffed register. Instead of stopping at a cashier to show the receipt, cameras at the stores\u2019 exits take a picture of what\u2019s in shoppers\u2019 carts to confirm purchases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">This camera technology is available in 10 clubs so far, according to Sam\u2019s Club CEO Chris Nicholas, and is being rolled out further later this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><a href=\"http:\/\/Walmart, artificial intelligence, drones, shopping experience,\">Abcnews<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LAS VEGAS &#8212;&nbsp;Walmart has unveiled plans to dive further into the world of&nbsp;artificial intelligence&nbsp;\u2014 and drones \u2014 to improve its customers\u2019 shopping experiences.
