Lowe's Emphasizes Human Labor Over AI for Physical Home Repairs
Lowe's CEO Marvin Ellison stated that AI cannot replace human labor for physical home repairs, such as fixing a hole in a roof. The company is investing $250 million to train 250,000 skilled tradespeople by 2035 due to a growing labor shortage in construction. Lowe's is also expanding into home repair services with its HomeCare+ subscription.
