From its writing capabilities to its photo generation features, it’s no secret what a powerful tool artificial intelligence has become — both to the everyday person and employers.

Some AI ads point out that these tools can help “improve your writing, get work done faster, and minimize mistakes,” and others claim “it’s easier than ever to bring your ideas to life,” with a photo generation prompt.

Regardless of why people might use AI, the fact is, it’s not going anywhere and that’s a reality many employers are embracing — including America’s largest retailer, Walmart.

Earlier this month, the company announced it is investing $1 billion in skills and technology training for its employees with the help of OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT.

“Beginning next year, U.S. frontline and office-based associates will have access to cutting-edge AI training through a new collaboration with OpenAI,” Walmart Chief People Officer Donna Morris said in a statement.

“They’re launching a new OpenAI Certifications program, and we’re working with them to create a customized experience for you,” Morris said.

The certification is offered through Walmart Academy, the company’s training portal.

“This training is designed to help you at work and in your personal life in an increasingly digital world,” the company said in its statement. “… With these new learning opportunities, you can develop the skills to succeed and grow.”

In an interview with The Associated Press, Walmart CEO Doug McMillon said when it comes to AI, “no one knows how this is going to play out,” and “basically every job gets changed.”

The goal in a changing job market is for people “to adopt new tools, leverage them and make things better than they would’ve otherwise been,” McMillon said.

Walmart employs people in various positions —from store associates to supply chain associates.

McMillon said Walmart employs fewer than 75,000 home office positions and believes those positions will be affected sooner than those who are working in stores.

He told the AP that his hope for the company’s future is that it can employ more people “because we have more ideas of how to grow,” opposed to AI resulting in fewer jobs at Walmart.
