Lunchlezing - Bart voorn, Director Analytics and Lead AI for Retail Lab

Daily, everybody has to deal with artificial intelligence at the moment. Unlocking your phone by facial recognition or you ask questions at a chatbot from a customer service. These are examples which became very normal throughout the recent years. However, what are the current developments regarding artificial intelligence and what is the contribution of those development to Ahold Delhaize? Now is your chance to ask questions and get  to know more about this topic, during the lunch meeting with Bart Voorn, Director Analytics and Lead AI for Retail Lab.   

In October last year Ahold Delhaize announced to start working with 4 other Dutch companies to give the AI-ecosystem a boost by encouraging and accelerating the development of AI-technology. This project, named AI for Retail (AIR), will expand the capabilities of AI and robotics within Ahold Delhaize led by Bart Voorn. In a recent interview Bart said: “For example in the supply chain there is a lot to win, but therefore you need to think more radical.” What are the examples that we have to think about?  

We already have a fully automatic operating DC in Zaandam and a personal Bonus program. How can we use artificial intelligence to meet the needs of our customers? And do we have self-driving vans that will deliver the groceries to our customers? Join our lunch session with Bart Voorn and learn more about this world of artificial intelligence.
