Some of the ideas in development include using an ID code to check in to a concept store and selecting items that will automatically appear on a mirror, including mix-and-match items for a more personalized shopping experience. While shopping customers can simply add items to a virtual cart prior to trying them on.
On the back end, real-time analytics can allow staff to move faster, provide efficient customer service and allow brands to maintain their inventory. When trying on clothes, customers can use the touch-screen mirror to adjust items to suit their needs, such as size or color.
This represents just a smidgen of how Alibaba is using artificial intelligence. The company is already in the works to develop a content-creation AI that can be used to generate product information.
