更值得警惕的是中小商家的生存困境。零售业正从传统网页搜索向"智能体主导的商业"转变，这一趋势下，若传统商家无法接入谷歌Gemini、ChatGPT等主 流AI购物生态，将迅速被市场边缘化。一旦品牌或商家跟不上这场变革，市场份额会快速缩水，甚至面临退场危机。这意味着市场资源可能进一步向谷 歌、沃尔玛等巨头倾斜，中小商家的生存空间将愈发狭窄。 试想这样的场景：你只需用一句话描述需求，AI就能精准匹配最适合的产品，点击一下即可完成购买。这不仅是购物方式的革新，更堪称消费者日常生活 的一场"革命"。谷歌的Gemini模型正实现这一构想——消费者在聊天界面内就能完成从需求表达、产品匹配到交易支付的全流程，无需跳转其他应用，而与 沃尔玛的合作让这一便捷体验触手可及。 这种被称为"即时结账"的功能，无疑精准击中了快节奏生活下消费者的核心需求。但便利背后，一个核心疑问随之浮现：消费者在简化的流程中，究竟是主 动选择的主人，还是沦为算法操控下的"数据点"？随着购物决策被AI高度简化，消费者的选择空间或许正在悄然萎缩——我们看到的推荐列表，未必是市场 全貌，而只是算法筛选后的结果。 有人断言，传统购物方式将在AI浪潮中消亡。但事 ...

来源：央视财经 眼下，越来越多的消费者习惯在购物前，先问AI。为顺应这一变化，当地时间11日，美国零售业巨头 沃尔玛和科技公司谷歌宣布开展合作。 沃尔玛将把谷歌的生成式AI聊天机器人Gemini整合进购物流程，让消费者能通过AI助手更快地发现商 品、比价并完成购买。 分析指出，此次沃尔玛和谷歌的合作也是顺应当下美国消费者的行为变化。越来越多的消费者在有购物 想法时，不再先开启购物应用或者电商网站，而是先询问AI，自己应该买什么品牌、哪家更有性价 比，然后再由AI导向购买页面。 沃尔玛美国公司的CEO弗纳在新闻稿中表示，零售行业正在从传统网页或应用搜索，转向由AI智能代 理主导的商业模式，这是零售行业的下一个重要演变。对于新功能，两家公司并没有透露具体上线时 间。据悉，这一体验将首先在美国推出，随后扩展至国际市场。 对于谷歌而言，它也正有要加码AI电商的计划。当地时间周日，全美零售商联合会的年度大会开幕活 动上，谷歌还宣布推出一项名为"通用商业协议"，简称UCP的新协议。据悉，这是一项开放式的技术标 准，由谷歌和沃尔玛、塔吉特等多家零售商共同开发，而协议的本质是在为"由AI主导的购物流程"制定 一套通用语言和交 ...

此次合作由即将接任沃尔玛首席执行官的约翰·弗纳与谷歌首席执行官桑达尔·皮查伊在全美零售联合会大展上共同揭晓。这一举措进一步迎合 了当下消费者依赖AI聊天机器人节省购物时间、获取灵感的趋势。早在2025年10月，沃尔玛便已与OpenAI合作推出"即时结账"功能，并上线了 自研的带有黄色笑脸形象的聊天机器人"斯帕基"（Sparky）。弗纳表示，从传统搜索向智能助手驱动购物模式的转型，标志着零售业正迎来又 一次重大变革，而沃尔玛正主动引领这一浪潮。 展望未来，AI支持的购物方式全面普及已是大势所趋。Visa全球市场集团总裁Oliver Jenkyn曾预计，随着支付巨头与AI企业合作的加速，2026 年将成为"AI辅助购物"全面进入主流视野的拐点。2025年11月，OpenAI已发布基于GPT-5-Thinking-mini模型优化的购物搜索功能，意图在消费 者决策链前端占据关键位置。摩根士丹利更是将此视为"Agent式电商"时代的开端，预测到2030年，该模式在基准情况下的GMV将达到约1900 亿美元，乐观情况下更高达3850亿美元。 在这一全球趋势的带动下，A股市场上的AI零售概念股亦表现不俗。数据显示，AI零 ...

对于这家1972 年便在纽交所挂牌的零售巨擘而言，转板并非简单的"换跑道"，而是一次面向未来的战略宣示：沃尔玛希望投资者用"科技股"而非"传统消 费股"的估值框架重新审视自己。他以8531亿美元的市值创下美股历史上最大规模的交易所迁移纪录，远超2017年百事公司转板时1660亿美元的规模。 前言 2025年12月9日，全球零售巨头沃尔玛完成了横跨半个多世纪的资本迁徙，正式从纽约证券交易所转板至纳斯达克全球精选市场，股票代码"WMT"保持不 变。 开盘当日，沃尔玛股价微涨0.13%报113.71美元/股，总市值攀升至9067亿美元，标志着其"以人为本、科技赋能"的战略转型迈入资本认可的新阶段。 01 沃尔玛：从纽交所到纳斯达克 沃尔玛此次转板未发行新股，亦不涉及融资，但同步更新并于12 月 4 日上传了新版"转板版"招股书（Form 10-K/A）。文件首次以"AI-First Retail"作为公 司定位，并披露三项此前未公开的量化指标： 2025 财年（截至 2025 年 1 月 31 日）通过 AI 定价与库存算法贡献的毛利增量达 25 亿美元，占全年毛利增量的 42%； 全渠道履约中心自动化率 67%， ...
