How do AI checkouts work?

Morrisons' new Evercheck system uses computer vision, a type of artificial intelligence, to 'see' what's in your basket. It compares this visual information with the items you've scanned. If there's a mismatch, like an unscanned item, it flags it up. This aims to reduce errors and speed up the checkout process for everyone.
