        They can simply count which products are being sold more / run out of stock more quickly.

        (But I get that they probably bought into the hype of AI)

          It doesn’t store your personal face but it can detect what you are most interested in buying giving corporations better data on how products should be priced. I still think it’s gross

            More importantly, it gives them demographic information (sex, age, race, etc). Can’t get that from just sales figures.

          The company apparently uses AI to process faces to determine gender, approximate age and mood in order to try and figure out which products the person might want.

          I learned this while trying to find tech specs for uhhh… research purposes.
