LinkedIn Live: The Next Era of Retail—Powered by Physical AI

Overview

Coresight Research & T-Mobile for Business LinkedIn Live

AI is rapidly transforming physical retail environments. Computer vision, intelligent inventory systems and in-store robotics are moving beyond pilots toward scaled deployment, creating new opportunities to improve store productivity, operational efficiency and customer experience.

As adoption accelerates, a critical strategic question emerges: Is retailers’ existing technology infrastructure equipped to support the next generation of AI-powered intelligent store operations?

Join Coresight Research and T-Mobile for Business for an exclusive preview of new proprietary research on Physical AI and Intelligent Retail Stores, ahead of its release at NRF 2027.

Coresight Research’s 2026 Intelligent Retail Stores study found that 72% of retailers faced network connectivity challenges, with operational and infrastructure inefficiencies impacting an estimated 5.8% of annual sales, on average. Building on these findings, the latest research surveys retail decision-makers to examine how Physical AI is reshaping infrastructure requirements, investment priorities and the path to scalable, intelligent AI deployment.

What We’ll Preview
