At McDonald's, AI now quickly weighs the bag before handing it to you. The AI knows precisely, down to a tenth of an ounce, what a Big Mac and large fries weigh versus three regular hamburgers and fries. At pizza chain Papa John's, AI is handling the entire order, gone is the person on the other end. The AI agent will guide you through even the most complex order. Hold the mushrooms, extra pepperoni.

What role does AI play in McDonald's order accuracy?
Joining us live on The Mark Aram Show as she does every Wednesday biweekly, the most syndicated talk show host in the nation, our dear friend Kim Commando. Kim, Happy New Year, buddy.
Happy New Year to you too, Mark.
Very excited to kick off. I missed you too.
Did you have a good Christmas and New Year's and all that? I did. Everything's fabulous. Although I'll tell you. I don't know what's happening, but I think everybody who didn't want to work in November and December is suddenly like jamming it now because I'm so busy.
Yeah, well, I mean, gosh, the news cycle just will not stop, including this that came across my desk. And I'm really concerned about it.
How is AI integrated into Papa John's service?
Is it possible, Kim, that my router at home is selling my data?
Yeah, this is something that a lot of people don't think about, that your Wi-Fi router isn't there just twiddling its antennas while you're connecting your phone to Netflix. It's actively scanning everything around it, collecting data on you, everyone, and everything nearby. It's actually kind of creepy. But the leader of the pack is Amazon. Why? Because of the Echo and Ring devices. Amazon, they're just brilliant. I mean, they created a neighborhood network throughout the country for free. by using their something called the Amazon Sidewalk. And so the whole idea is that if your neighbor's ring loses Wi-Fi, it hops on your Echo to upload footage.
