Doug McMillon, CEO of Walmart.

Dear Commons Community,

Doug McMillon, the CEO of Walmart, warned earlier this week that artificial intelligence will reshape every single job across the retail giant’s 2.1 million-strong workforce. McMillon said the transformation will redefine how America’s largest employer operates from top to bottom, affecting at least 1.6million US workers. Speaking at a Harvard Business Review event on Monday, McMillon said the company was going on ‘the offense’ with AI, predicting sweeping changes for cashiers, warehouse staff, store managers and executives alike as automation spreads through every corner of the business.
