Walmart CEO Warns AI Will Transform Every Job While Maintaining Workforce Stability

Walmart shares dipped as CEO Doug McMillon declared artificial intelligence will inevitably reshape every role across the U.S. economy. The retail giant's leadership anticipates AI will both eliminate certain tasks and create new opportunities, projecting stable global headcounts despite growth expectations.

'Our goal is to create the opportunity for everybody to make it to the other side,' McMillon stated during a Bentonville executive conference. Walmart's workforce analytics team now tracks occupational flux patterns to develop targeted retraining programs.

The Arkansas-based corporation continues implementing AI solutions across operations while consciously avoiding humanoid robotics. Chief People Officer Donna Morris emphasized evolving job architectures will require fundamental workforce adaptation.
