Just for a moment even if they use our technology will they tell all the world what they are using or keep it a top secret?
Agree Rgupta ,
Though thay could at least pay the bill.
For example reflected in our , BRN 's accounts.
She is VERY barron To date.

Amazon is giving up on the cashier-less "Just Walk Out" technology at its Amazon Fresh grocery stores. The Information reports that new stores will be built without computer-vision-powered surveillance technology, and "the majority" of existing stores will have the tech removed. In the early days, Amazon's ambitions included selling Just Walk Out to other brick-and-mortar stores. The problem was that the technology never really worked.
A May 2023 report from The Information revealed the myriad tech problems Amazon was still having with the idea six years after the initial announcement. The report said that "Amazon had more than 1,000 people in India working on Just Walk Out as of mid-2022 whose jobs included manually reviewing transactions and labeling images from videos to train Just Walk Out’s machine learning model."
Training is part of any AI project, but it sounds like Amazon wasn't making much progress, even after years of working on the project. "As of mid-2022, Just Walk Out required about 700 human reviews per 1,000 sales, far above an internal target of reducing the number of reviews to between 20 and 50 per 1,000 sales," the report said.
The report said Amazon's team "repeatedly missed goals" to cut down on human reviews, and "the reliance on backup humans explains in part why it can take hours for customers to receive receipts."
According to The Information report, the Just Walk Out tech was deployed in 20 Amazon Go stores, 40 Amazon Fresh grocery stores, and two Whole Foods stores. It had even gotten some third-party outlets on board, including "30 stores operated by other companies in US sports stadiums, 12 airports, and one university in Arlington, Virginia," the report said.
Amazon will be switching to a more reasonable cashier-less format: shopping carts with built-in checkout screens and scanners. Customers can leisurely scan items as they throw them in the "Amazon Dash Cart," and the screen will let them instantly see a running total of their purchases. The cart scanners also mean that Amazon no longer needs a small army of store employees to constantly tidy up the shelves so the camera-vision system can work.
We’ve invested a lot of time redesigning a number of our Amazon Fresh stores over the last year, offering a better overall shopping experience with more value, convenience, and selection—and so far we’ve seen positive results, with higher customer shopping satisfaction scores and increased purchasing. We’ve also heard from customers that while they enjoyed the benefit of skipping the checkout line with Just Walk Out, they also wanted the ability to easily find nearby products and deals, view their receipt as they shop, and know how much money they saved while shopping throughout the store. To deliver even more convenience to our customers, we’re rolling out Amazon Dash Cart, our smart-shopping carts, which allows customers all these benefits including skipping the checkout line.

Amazon Fresh kills “Just Walk Out” shopping tech—it never really worked
"AI" checkout was actually powered by 1,000 human video reviewers in India.

Evening Diogenese ,
Wow , pretty sad when one of, if not the largest tech companys can't perfect such a system.
Human labour is cheap as apposed to purchasing tech which dose such things.

If only it is our NPU hooked in with the Arm hardware...wishful thinking 
Microsoft is expected to release new Surface laptops for consumers in May that will be equipped with Arm-based hardware. The company thinks that the new PCs will be fast enough to outperform Apple’s MacBook Air with an M3 processor.
A few weeks ago, Microsoft announced its first so-called AI PCs, the Surface Pro 10 and Surface Laptop 6, both aimed at business. Both of these PCs come with Intel Core Ultra processors equipped with neural processing units that can handle AI tasks.
However, buying these PCs right now might not be the best option, with Microsoft planning to release similar devices for consumers with better specs.
On May 20th, right before the Microsoft conference Build, the company will host a media event where it’s expected to announce new Arm-based models with a Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite System-on-Chip instead of an Intel Core Ultra.
The Verge, quoting unnamed sources in Microsoft, reported that Microsoft is confident that its new PCs will beat Apple’s MacBook Air with its newest and fastest processor, the M3, in CPU performance and AI-accelerated tasks.
According to the sources, these new PCs will also get access to the new AI-powered Windows feature list, including an AI Explorer app that lets users retrieve anything they’ve ever seen or done on their device.
In the middle of the year, Microsoft is expected to announce more Arm-based Windows AI PCs with a Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite processor.
Qualcomm has long tried to deliver hardware that can outperform chips manufactured by Apple.
In 2021, the CEO of the company, Christiano Amon, said that its newest chips could potentially be the best on the market. However, no one could beat Apple’s M chips.
Microsoft’s new PCs, the Surface Pro 10 and Surface Laptop 6 are the first so-called AI PCs with Windows OS. Many more Windows PCs are expected to be announced this year by Microsoft and other vendors, including Dell and HP.
An AI PC is a computer designed to handle AI and machine learning tasks. Its primary function is to handle AI and machine learning operations right on your PC instead of sending data to be processed on the cloud, thus enabling faster and more secure performance.
One significant feature that distinguishes AI PCs from others is Neural processing units (NPU). They are dedicated to handling specific AI tasks, such as blurring video calls or detecting objects in video or photo editing, etc.
Even though central processing units and graphic processing units can also perform these tasks, NPUs are designed to do it efficiently, resulting in longer battery life.
While in the future, AI PCs promise private, personalized, and secure AI capabilities, right now there aren’t that many benefits of AI PCs. Software manufacturers have yet to create programs that the new PCs can utilize.
Microsoft is certain its Arm-based AI PCs will outperform the newest MacBook Air

Musk would surely be an excellent catch for IFS. This superrich entrepreneur has fingers in many tech pies that are highly reliant on processors, lots of state-of-the-art processors. Musk's firms buy AI accelerators from both AMD and Nvidia, for tasks like machine learning, computer vision, self-driving, Grok, and more, but the firm is also developing its own Dojo ASICs (Application-Specific Integrated-Circuits) with new generations in development.

Tata Electronics wins Tesla deal to supply semiconductor chips: Report
The deal between Tata Electronics and Tesla to supply semiconductor chips was quietly signed a few months back.
India Today Business Desk
New Delhi,UPDATED: Apr 15, 2024 12:11 IST
Written By: Sonu Vivek
Tesla has signed a strategic deal with Tata Electronics to obtain semiconductor chips for its global operations, reported The Economic Times.
The deal, which was quietly signed a few months back, holds importance as it puts Tata Electronics in the spotlight as a dependable supplier for major global clients eyeing a crucial part of their semiconductor setup in India.
US-based Tesla is eyeing India, known as the world's fastest-growing major car market. This development suggests the electric carmaker's growing interest in India.
Elon Musk is coming to India later this month to meet with Prime Minister Narendra Modi. It is anticipated that Musk might reveal his plans for potential investments in India, including putting money into making electric vehicles (EVs).
Both Tesla and Tata Electronics, the front-runner in the Tata group's semiconductor venture, have not confirmed the news and hence the exact value of the deal and other specifics remain under wraps for now.
Ashok Chandak, head of India Electronics and Semiconductor Association (IESA), said that Tesla's move to rope in local suppliers for electronics and subsystems indicates it's not banking solely on one market. The main concern revolves around getting local semiconductor sources right.
“This needs improvement in the supply chain as value addition for the industrial and automotive segments is much higher,” Chandak told The Economic Times.
Though the numbers might differ, most experts estimate Tesla could pour in at least $2-3 billion into India to make electric cars, which are gradually gaining traction in the local market.
Recent changes in policies have made it easier for carmakers to bring in EVs valued at $35,000 or above with a reduced import duty of 15%. But there's a catch: they need to pledge $500 million within three years to start making cars in India. Tesla might initially focus on high-end electric models tailored with fancy features for the Indian market.
Most experts think Tesla might invest $2-3 billion in India to make electric cars, which are slowly becoming more popular in the country.
Recent rule changes let carmakers bring in electric cars priced above $35,000 at a lower import tax of 15%. But they have to promise to invest $500 million within three years to make cars in India. Tesla might start with high-end electric cars for India and then make cheaper ones here.
Meanwhile, Tata Electronics has hired 50-60 top experts from abroad in recent months to boost its chip business.
Since Covid, Tesla has been looking for more places to get parts from, besides China. It makes some parts itself, like electric motors and batteries, but buys the rest from suppliers around the world.
Randhir Thakur, the head of Tata Electronics, has played a big role in getting these top experts on board. He used to work at Intel, a big chip company.
Thakur's long experience and contacts have helped him convince many top bosses from around the world to join Tata Electronics.
The company has chip-making factories in Tamil Nadu, Gujarat, and Assam, and plans to expand across India. It has already put in $14 billion and has a team with over 1,000 years of experience to run the project.
