Abstract

AI and cloud computing have been controversial since the very beginning of the concept. The technical features of AI and Cloud Computing combined with the business make the business more efficient and effective. Many top listed Companies realized the potential value of AI and Cloud computing could help the development of the company to earn a profit. But the application of AI and cloud computing are few and immature, and lots of companies see this opportunity. In other words, who first control AI and Cloud computing is the winner in fierce competition. Amazon, the world's most influential e-commerce company, proposed the idea of “unmanned convenience” store operations in 2015 and started researching and launching Amazon.Go under the competition of AI and Cloud Computing, an innovative but unsuccessful checkout-less convenience store—the birth of Amazon. Go attracted many investors, and other companies, whether e-commercial or tra-ditional retailers, begin imitate Amazon.Go. With the gradual application of AI and cloud computing in the commercial sector, Amazon.Go is set to become the future of conven-ience stores.
