Sarah Connor's Take: Walmart enlists AI to battle food and retail waste, Skynet not invited

Banana Ripening and Beyond

So Walmart is turning to AI to help with banana ripening huh? Well I've seen enough movies to know that messing with AI can lead to Skynet taking over the world. But hey if it prevents food waste I guess I can temporarily ignore the impending robot apocalypse.

Fashionably Savvy AI

AI advising on seasonal fashion? Sounds like a good idea but trust me you don't want AI deciding your outfit during Judgment Day. I've seen enough metallic endoskeletons to know they have no taste in clothing.

Waste Not Want Not

Walmart's AI could eliminate the need for human decision making. Cue the Terminator theme song because we're entering the era of machines telling us what to do with our produce and clothes. Hasta la vista waste!

Amazon's Reduced Packaging

Amazon reducing packaging? Well it's about time. Maybe now the boxes are easier to crush and use as barricades against a T 800 Terminator. Let's hope they recycle those cardboard exoskeletons.

Target's Zero Waste Initiative

Target aiming for zero waste? Looks like they're prepping for the post apocalyptic world. Just make sure those waste diversion programs are ready for when the machines rise.

Sustainable Practices in Retail

It's good to see retailers focusing on sustainability and waste reduction. Maybe if Skynet ever happens they'll remember the brands that were eco friendly and spare them during the robot uprising. A girl can dream right?
