Eli Schafer: 我认为亚马逊关闭部分Amazon Go商店，主要是因为经济原因，特别是租金成本过高，这反映出高科技零售解决方案的可扩展性问题。虽然技术先进，但高科技并不一定意味着高利润，尤其是在零售业高昂的租金和运营成本的压力下。这并非意味着Amazon Go模式失败，而是需要更精细的策略。 亚马逊将"Just Walk Out"技术授权给第三方零售商，这是一个非常聪明的策略。这种做法能够将亚马逊的技术优势与最小化自身零售风险结合起来。通过授权，亚马逊能够将自己的技术应用到更广泛的市场，从而产生更大的影响力，并潜在改变整个全球零售行业。 展望未来，类似的科技将会越来越普遍，但同时也会引发关于就业、数据隐私和消费者行为的广泛讨论。例如，这些技术会如何改变就业岗位？当我们拿起的每一件商品都会记录我们的消费信息时，数据安全又该如何保障？ 总而言之，亚马逊的Go商店和"Just Walk Out"技术战略，描绘了人工智能驱动的未来图景。这不仅仅是技术取代工作或改变购物方式，更是关于我们如何适应和塑造这些变化，并使其与我们的价值观和经济现实相符的问题。
