The implementation of highly innovative technology, such as the “just walk out” system, poses a significant challenge for businesses. Convincing individuals to incorporate such systems into their daily routines is one of the main challenges. The initial costs of implementing such a system, including cameras, computing devices, and weighted shelving, can be substantial for businesses with already limited profit margins, such as grocery stores. Even companies with deep pockets like Amazon may find it financially challenging to invest in this technology, especially as it continues to improve from an AI perspective.
In addition to financial concerns, regulatory risks must also be taken into account when implementing systems like “just walk out.” Issues surrounding tobacco and alcohol sales and the perception of replacing human labor can complicate the implementation process. Successful integration into daily life will require buy-in from government stakeholders at all levels.
According to Arcaro, a more gradual approach to automating retail locations may be the way forward. The existing ecosystem of automated checkouts and related technology has already made progress in the industry, offering a more economically feasible pathway. Over time, barriers to entry are likely to decrease as technology continues to advance.
