I’ve worked at Walmart for nearly six years now. Every day I’m impressed by the people on my team and the leadership at the company. They challenge me to do my best every day. When I thought about this article, I thought about those people and how important they are to the company. Walmart has always been a company focused on people—whether it’s delivering everyday low cost to our customers, or recognizing the great people we have working in our stores around the globe.

People at Walmart make the difference. Our people are guided and driven by our values—integrity being a key value for our over 2.3 million associates. When I think about artificial intelligence (AI), I am proud of the ways we are currently leveraging AI to have a better understanding of how our data works together and am excited about the opportunities to leverage AI in the future. However, it is important to remember, it will always be our people that make our company successful.
