AI and Retail Pricing: What's the Big Deal?

Who would have thought that AI would have an impact on retail pricing?

You see much like Amazon, fashion stores also drop and increase prices.

But they struggle to know when to do it…

Enter AI. No more headaches to figure this out.

So, what's up with markdowns and promotions?

Let's break it down:

  • Markdowns: That's when prices go down for good. Think end-of-season sales.

  • Promotions: Temporary discounts to get people buying quick.

AI helps figure out when to slash prices or push promos, based on what’s flying off the shelves and what’s sticking around.

Why Now?

The economy's been a rollercoaster, right?

Inflation, supply chain messes—you name it.

Retailers are turning to AI to help keep things stable.

But, it’s not as smooth…

Setting up AI isn't cheap, and picking the right tech partner can make or break it.

Also, there's talk about new rules that might change how AI can be used, which has some stores hitting the pause button.

Using AI to set prices isn’t just a cool tech thing—it’s becoming a must-have for stores that want to keep up and keep their cash registers ringing.

You are ruining the Swimming Olympics

Remember when data centers were just for storing server racks?

Then they started tackling bigger computations...

Now, the data centers are not just crunching numbers, but also heating Olympic pools with their excess heat.

Is Video Editing As We Know It Changing Forever?
