As the holiday season reaches its pinnacle moment, retail tech — including retail AI — is facing an uphill battle amid a looming recession and poor Q3 results.

From entry to exit, the average time a consumer spends in a grocery store is about 41 minutes for one trip. But when checkout lines are long and shoppers spend time scouring shelves for out-of-stock items, that trip quickly gets much longer.

Even in the midst of an economic downturn, artificial intelligence (AI) adoption in enterprises around the world is still climbing.
