How Artificial Intelligence is revolutionizing the Retail industry ?

In 2020, the retail sector is at a crossroads. From the omnipresence of digital technology to the importance of environmental concerns, societal changes are revolutionizing consumer behavior and shattering traditional models. The Covid-19 crisis, as sudden and brutal as it stroke, only amplifies these trends and makes the need for retailers to reinvent themselves even more urgent.
