Last week, a liquor store in Seattle called Downtown Spirits became the first in the world to use Amazon’s Just Walk Out technology. An Amazon spokesperson clarified for Eater that the technology does not use biometric information but relies on a combination of computer vision, sensor fusion, and deep learning to allow stores to charge shoppers for what they pick off of shelves without having to go to a cashier. Previous Just Walk Out installations have used Amazon One devices for customers to scan their palm biometrics or a payment card on entry. Amazon is not the only entity introducing new tech to limit alcohol consumption among minors. 7-Eleven is jumping on the bandwagon. Its Australian stores plan to offer the My 7-Eleven App Pay and Go 2.0 which is expected to launch in 10 stores by the end of 2024. The app will be developed with Grabango and will leverage AI to enable customers the choice to skip the register, without the need to scan goods with their device, the companies said in an announcement. https://www.activistpost.com/2023/08/ai-use-grows-among-retail-stores-new-york-considers-biometrics-for-liquor-sales.html
