Best Buy on AI Impact
Best Buy, based in Minneapolis, where George Floyd was killed, is committing to assist in permanent change “in as many ways as it can find,” said Best Buy CEO Corie Barry on Wednesday.
The Minneapolis/St. Paul Business Journal reported Barry sent an email to customers saying, “I don’t have the answers, but I am no longer OK with not asking the question: If everything were on the table, what could Best Buy do?”
As a result the 1000-store chain is setting up a diverse task force to ultimately report to Best Buy’s senior leadership on ways to “address the inequities and injustices to which all of us bear witness every day,” she said.

Best Buy plans to launch more than 100 additional Teen Tech Centers, where teens can visit to learn about and receive training on many technologies that can help them in their education and career paths.
