| Walmart boss warns of AI shake-up that will impact 2.1 million jobs at America's biggest employer |
| 2025-11-05 |
| [Daily Mail, where America gets its news] The CEO of Walmart has warned that artificial intelligence will reshape every single job across the retail giant's 2.1million-strong workforce. Doug McMillon says the transformation will redefine how America's largest employer operates from top to bottom, affecting at least 1.6million US workers. Speaking at a Harvard Business Review event Monday, McMillon said the company was going on 'the offense' with AI, predicting sweeping changes for cashiers, warehouse staff, store managers and executives alike as automation spreads through every corner of the business. 'Every job we've got is going to change in some way - whether it's getting the shopping carts off the parking lot, or the way our technologists work, or certainly the way leadership roles change,' McMillon said. The CEO's blunt assessment marks one of corporate America's clearest acknowledgments that the AI revolution will transform not just office jobs, but frontline retail and logistics roles across the country. The warning comes amid a rapid corporate shift toward the technology and just weeks after Walmart unveiled a new collaboration with Sam Altman's OpenAI, allowing customers to shop and make purchases directly through ChatGPT. McMillon's comments suggest the advance of AI will upend millions of traditional jobs, even as the company insists it plans to remain one of the nation's largest employers. 'What we want to do is equip everybody to make the most of the new tools that are available, learn, adapt, add value, drive growth - and still be a really large employer years from now,' he added.
