McDonald's、ドライブスルーの混乱にGoogleのArchyを投入
McDonald'sは、Google支援のAI注文システム「Archy」を米国5店舗でテストしており、過去のAI失敗にもかかわらず、ドライブスルー自動化への大規模な推進を示している。
mcdonald's is testing archiq (nicknamed 'archy'), a new google-backed generative ai system, at five us drive-thru locations to automate ordering and support operations. this trial follows the company's recent termination of its partnership with ibm after automated ordering accuracy failed to meet customer standards. successful deployment of this technology could drastically reduce labor costs and consistency issues in the fast-food sector, but hinges on the ai's ability to handle accents and menu complexity reliably.
