AI Target

Target has appointed an AI system as CEO, promising precision retail. Eyewitnesses in Minneapolis said board meetings now compile in milliseconds. Professor Alan Stewart of Wharton explains: "AI leadership is efficient, but it can’t smile on Black Friday." Anonymous staffers leaked memos full of binary emojis. A Harris poll shows 46% of shoppers intrigued, 54% unsettled. Trace evidence includes glowing receipts and auto-updating price tags. Cause and effect? The more retail automates, the less human it feels. The bullseye is now digital.
