TODAY’S TOP STORIES

Taco Bell to roll out AI drive-thru ordering in hundreds of locations by end of year

Taco Bell is set to implement AI-powered drive-thru ordering in hundreds of its U.S. locations by the end of 2024, as part of Yum Brands' broader strategy to leverage voice AI technology. The move follows successful trials that have shown improvements in order accuracy, wait times, and profitability for franchisees.

  • Over 100 Taco Bell locations in the U.S. are already using voice AI, with plans to expand to hundreds more by year's end.

  • Yum Brands aims to roll out voice AI in drive-thrus globally, following the lead of competitors like Wendy's and White Castle.

  • The company reports enhanced order accuracy, reduced wait times, decreased employee workload, and increased profits from the technology.

Using the term ‘artificial intelligence’ in product descriptions reduces purchase intentions

A recent study by Washington State University researchers found that including the term "artificial intelligence" in product descriptions can decrease consumer purchase intentions.

  • The study, which surveyed over 1,000 U.S. adults, consistently showed that products described as using AI were less popular among consumers.

  • Mentioning AI in product descriptions tends to lower emotional trust, which in turn decreases purchase intentions, especially for "high-risk" products like expensive electronics or medical devices.

  • The negative effect of AI disclosure was observed across eight different product and service categories tested in the study.

Microsoft says OpenAI is now a competitor in AI and search

Microsoft has officially listed OpenAI, its long-term strategic partner, as a competitor in AI offerings, search, and news advertising in its latest annual report. The move comes shortly after OpenAI unveiled a prototype search engine called SearchGPT.

  • Microsoft has invested an estimated $13 billion in OpenAI and is its exclusive cloud service provider

  • OpenAI maintains that the partnership remains unchanged, and competition was expected from the start

  • Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella recently recruited Mustafa Suleyman, co-founder of DeepMind, to lead the newly formed Microsoft AI division
