Information
The next chapter of retail will be powered by the rise of physical AI and robotics.
Since the early 1990s, e-commerce has played a pivotal role in digitizing and modernizing retail operations. What happens when we layer autonomous vehicles and robotics on top of a digitized retail system? A new industry paradigm that will transform the fundamentals of economics, operations, and consumer behavior across one of the largest global industries. We'll discuss what Autonomous Commerce is and how it will change everything we know about retail over the coming decades.
