Happy Pride Month! I'm proud to work for a company that values diversity and inclusion. I'm also proud to have kids who work at companies that share those values. #PrideMonth2023 #IAmIntel

I've been watching Everseen and I'm excited about the problems they're solving. Systems like these require a lot of compute and #ComputerVision but I expect they'll be the norm before too long. pymnts.com/news/investmen…

Consumers have specific demands when it comes to the shopping experience but enabling the necessary strategies is easier said than done. Fortunately, Intel is teaming up with Dell and World Wide Technology to provide retailers with the insight they need. #IAmIntel engage.biz-tech-insights.com/whitepaper/LP-…

A recent study found there's essentially a 5-way tie for why #retailers pursue IT/OT convergence. Stores used to focus their digital efforts on one to two areas of the business. Now, it's everywhere. And that's good for both the retailer and the consumer. community.intel.com/t5/Blogs/Thoug…

Retailers are investing in technology at a rate not seen before, but to me, it all comes down to one thing: how can a store improve the customer experience? In order to do that, stores need data to know what their specific pain points are. glossy.co/fashion/hologr…

It's fantastic to see that we're estimated to get to 24 billion #RFID tags by the end of the year. With omnichannel #retail, it really is the only solution and it's making a substantial impact on inventory management. sdcexec.com/warehousing/re…

This partnership between Cisco and Intel is helping provide businesses of all sizes with the solutions they need. Having been to Sofi stadium last year it's great to see Intel is continuing to add #AI and #ComputerVision to improve the fan experience. insight.tech/vision/ai-in-h…

Technology changes so rapidly that it's a challenge to predict what the retail landscape will look like in 20 years. Looking forward to just the next five years, I do believe all of your preferences and insights will be available for stores to purchase. business-review.eu/tech/new-data-…

It's great to see this early success for simbriyano Robotics. Using Intel RealSense Computer Vision, Simbe is able to automate and improve in‑store retail operations. #IAmIntel retailtechinnovationhub.com/home/2023/7/13…

At Intel, we've previously focused a lot on #ComputerVision but we're now seeing #GenAI applications for #retail and that's going to require a lot of compute. After reading this article, I recommend checking out the Nick Frazier AI working group to learn more. nrf.com/blog/how-artif…

One of the things that make self-checkout setups like this so successful is that the #ComputerVision removes any ambiguity as to whether someone was actually stealing or if it was just a mistake. bestlifeonline.com/walmart-self-c…

Being able to create a robust database is the whole goal of loyalty programs, as a customer you have to be willing to give a little to get something valuable in return and that's true for the retailer as well. Done correctly, it can benefit everyone. retailtechinnovationhub.com/home/2023/7/18…

Traveling over the past year, I've noticed that different countries are all in different phases post-pandemic, but one consistent is the labor shortage. Tech is helping bridge the gap, but what that looks like is going to differ from place to place. forbes.com/sites/garydren…

This is a great way for stores to manage lines and provide a better customer experience. WaitTime is a long-time partner of Intel and uses advanced #AI. I was able to meet with CEO Zack Klima earlier this year at NRF Big Show. #IAmIntel insight.tech/cities/crowd-b…

There are a lot of questions about the ethical use of #AI, so it's great to see the National Retail Federation doing this. My Intel colleague, and soon-to-be replacement, George Loranger, and I recently met with Konfer, a company taking the lead in responsible AI. retailtouchpoints.com/topics/market-…

We're seeing a trend right now with AI-based sizing tools and this is one of several that have recently launched, including a collaboration between Fit:match.ai and Savage X Fenty by Rihanna. pymnts.com/news/retail/20…

Overall, I think this is a good article from Honeywell but to me, mobile devices are the interface points for customers and employees. All of the sensors, cameras, #AI, etc. are running on edge devices, and I think that's what ultimately drives success. honeywell.com/us/en/news/202…

One of the things I've noticed is that The Home Depot employees are often knowledgeable and happy to help, and I think a lot of that comes from the commitment to wages and technology the company provides. And that's a win for everyone. risnews.com/home-depot-exp…

I visited 7-Eleven's innovation lab in March and it was great to see how they're leveraging technology. As I move into the next phase of my life, I look forward to staying involved in the industry through coaching and working with startups and boards. datacenterdynamics.com/en/news/7-elev…
