Walmart has told its more than 2.1 million employees that AI is meant to improve their jobs, not replace them, reports Financial Times.

The comments come at a time when concerns are growing about AI’s impact on jobs across industries.

“Technology will power our future. But our associates will lead it,” Morris said.
