Artificial intelligence advances will allow computer kiosks and robots to replace most fast food jobs within five to 10 years, according to an AI entrepreneur.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“This is definitely a watershed moment for artificial intelligence,” Valyant AI founder Rob Carpenter told Fox News. “We are going to see AI jump from back-office processing and manufacturing facilities to consumer-facing, front-facing, traditionally human-only jobs.”<\/p>\n

Many fast food restaurants<\/a>, such as McDonald’s, Taco Bell, Chipotle, Popeye’s and Domino’s and Wingstop, are already using AI. Wendy’s started a partnership with Google<\/a> earlier this month to “revolutionize the drive-thru experience with artificial intelligence.” A pilot program will employ Google Cloud’s AI to speak with customers and take their orders.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Within five to 10 years, I think the majority of positions within restaurants can be automated, and that’ll be from a variety of different technology providers,” Carpenter said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Valyant AI is behind a similar drive-through AI called Holly, which Carpenter said can outsell human employees. Holly has already taken over a million drive-through orders and is now working with Hardee’s and Carl’s Jr.<\/p>\n

AI is already automating food orders through self-service computer kiosks, streamlining payment through mobile devices and allowing robots to prepare meals, Carpenter said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“What we see is that humans on average will upsell about 50% of the time,” Carpenter said. “Valyant upsells about 200% on average.”<\/p>\n

“They can add items to their order, they can modify items, they can remove items,” he continued. “Holly will roll with all of that.”<\/p>\n

AI advancements could eliminate or diminish 300 million jobs<\/a>, Goldman Sachs predicted in a March 26 report. The technology could create a “significant disruption” across labor markets globally, according to the analysis.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Holly and other AI applications will replace many jobs that fast food franchises cannot fill, Carpenter said. Nearly two-thirds of restaurant operators say they don\u2019t have enough workers<\/a> to meet demand, according to the National Restaurant Association.<\/p>\n

“The order-taking position is one of the least desirable positions within fast food restaurants,” the Carpenter told Fox News. “That should just be a job that a robot can do because it’s basic and it’s automated.”<\/p>\n

“It doesn’t matter if it’s 8 a.m. or 2 a.m, the AI still sounds chipper and she never forgets those upsells,” he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
