- GameStop proposes an entirely performance-based compensation package for CEO Ryan Cohen that could reach $35 billion if the company hits a $100 billion market cap and $10 billion in cumulative EBITDA.
- UPS' Happy Returns pilots AI-powered Return Vision software to detect "decoy return" fraud, using computer vision to verify returned products match retailers' original items.
