With the launch of Open AI’s artificial intelligence chatbot, Chat GPT, artificial intelligence, outside the characterisations seen in movies, has become a huge talking point. The viral chat bot is powered by huge sums of data and is able to construct sentences in a meaningful ‘human-like’ way. The goal behind the project is to make AI systems more natural and safer to interact with, so people can begin to recognise that AI is a tool we can use to solve problems, not a human-like mind set on taking over the world.

For convenience retailers, artificial intelligence provides opportunities to enhance the customer experience, streamline operations and drive sales. However, implementing AI is not without its challenges. At the Conexxus Annual Conference 2023, Frodi Hammer, Founder and CTO at A2i Systems will showcase how AI is helping to shape the convenience retailing industry, as well as exploring the challenges of implementing AI into your business and the ethical and societal implications.

A2i’s artificial intelligent fuel pricing solution, PriceCast Fuel, is in use at over 10,000 fuel sites worldwide and Frodi will provide insights into how retailers can leverage AI to automate complex processes and deliver a more personalised and seamless customer experience.

Each year, the Conexxus Annual Conference brings together those who are passionate about the c-store technology roadmap to discuss, learn, and actively work to solve pressing technology challenges.

Conexxus is a non-profit, member-driven technology organization dedicated to the development and implementation of standards, technologies innovation and advocacy for the fuel and convenience retail market. Conexxus members, including A2i, collaborate on key present and future industry challenges and innovations and help to shape the future of fuel and convenience retailing.

“I’m super excited to be attending the Conexxus Annual Conference.” explained Frodi.

“It is a privilege to once again attend and have the opportunity to share some insights as part of the speaker programme. The event is a great opportunity to reconnect with innovators and leaders in the fuel and convenience retail space and engage in meaningful discussions around technology,” he added.

The Conexxus Annual Conference will take place from 30 April – 4 May at Loews Coronado Bay, Coronado, California. For further information visit https://www.conexxus.org/events/2023-annual-conference
