Q: Can you give us a bit of a walkthrough of like what this world of AI is? And just can we start with the basics?
AI are algorithms that help us do useful things, and with breakthroughs in computing, data, and mathematics, they can perform an increasing range of tasks—from recognizing handwriting to writing code and enabling agentic systems that can decide what tasks to do, though reliable, scalable deployment requires careful framing and governance.
Convenience Redefined | Fiona Hayes (CEO & MD, 7-Eleven Australia)
Q: Let's shift into AI—how is 7-Eleven thinking about deploying AI for store operations and marketing?
AI is being used to automate stock ordering, improve forecasting, support multilingual training tools, and enhance personalization and efficiency across marketing and pricing, with a staged rollout and an emphasis on top-level literacy about AI within the leadership team.
