AI Working Group

Given the increasing importance of artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities and tools to the retail industry, NRF is convening retail leaders to facilitate policy and stakeholder engagement on AI issues and the development of practices and guidelines for the use of AI within retail. 

This retail members-only working group provides feedback on proposed AI legislation and regulations, advises NRF on developing common principles and guidelines for retail uses of AI, and helps NRF educate policymakers and the media on how retailers are using AI-enabled technology to improve their operations and better serve customers.
