AI Failed: Amazon Closes Fresh Stores in UK

Amazon is closing its cashier-less store network, where purchases were supposedly tracked by AI. The Just Walk Out concept promised full automation: no queues, cashiers, or payment errors. In reality, cameras monitored shoppers, and data was manually processed by people in India.

Calculation errors and missed items undermined customer trust. Several stores will be converted to Whole Foods Market, while the company focuses on online sales and data analysis for innovation.
