Walmart Labs had a research paper a few years ago exploring a "personal AI assistant" for the lowest level Walmart employees.
immediately there were questions about "does it give workers orders too?" and "what kind of records are being generated" and those were questions by mild paper reviewers.. not experienced labor attorneys. note: I posted this once here previously and tried to go back to find the citation, but it is currently TODO. This was a refereed paper in a large conference, so someone with better search skills might find it. I definitely recall seeing Walmart Labs on the title page

Ask Sam (as in Sam Walton...'s... ghost?) is their internal system so employees can quickly ask like "what aisle are the great value lightbulbs in" and it quickly spits an answer at you, or can answer things like sales data questions for managers working in their departments. https://corporate.walmart.com/news/2020/07/29/helping-associates-succeed-at-work-while-elevating-customer-service-safety https://corporate.walmart.com/news/2020/07/29/helping-associ...
