Best Buy Co. is gearing up for one of the biggest product launches of the year: artificial-intelligence computers.
The retailer is training tens of thousands of its employees to sell and repair Microsoft Corp.’s Copilot+ PCs, the firm’s new AI Windows laptops that go on sale starting Tuesday. Best Buy says that this is its biggest training effort in a decade in both scope and number of employees.
