Written response Aldi

“The goal of ALDI Shop & Go is to test the system, which is based on artificial intelligence. Customers who take part in this test in our store react enthusiastically and enjoy working with them. We do not share figures about how many customers per week visit the store.

We test as long as necessary to properly assess the technology and its operation for the customer and employee. During this period and at the end, analyzes and evaluations take place. Next steps will be determined.”
