1. Amazon scrapping its grab-and-go supermarket model, where customers can get an item, have it be scanned by AI sensors, and Just Walk Out. This is following reports that in actuality, 1,000 Indian workers were watching customers as they shopped, to make sure checkouts were accurate. Amazon, however, has said that their workers only validated a small amount of visits, when its AI couldn't make a determination.
