Last week in China, a meeting was held between representatives of Walmart and Chinese officials. The topic discussed was a media article that claimed that the American retail chain used artificial intelligence to manage inventories during the COVID-19 pandemic. In this regard, concerns were raised about the legality and calls for an inspection were expressed. However, Walmart representatives denied this information, stating that the company does not use artificial intelligence to manage inventories in China. They emphasized that Walmart adheres to all rules and regulations established by Chinese legislation. Chinese officials noted the importance of cooperation between countries in the field of retail and hope for further development of partnerships with Walmart.
