[Netease smart news April 18 news] Amazon employees and their investors believe that: Jeff Bezos (Jeff Bezos) know that artificial intelligence (AI) is a major event. In his other annual shareholder letter, the Amazon CEO used several paragraphs to explain how the company uses artificial intelligence in its business and acknowledged and embraced "outside trends."
Bezos listed three major ways Amazon uses artificial intelligence: tangible products and moonshots (crazy and hard-to-find projects), core businesses, and enterprise clouds.
Bezos wrote: "If you do not want to or can't embrace external trends as soon as possible, the outside world will push you into Day 2. If you oppose these trends, you may be enemies to the future. You need to embrace them. That way you can also rise in the wind."
Products and moonshot projects
This category is what Bezos calls "the practical application of machine learning." Without AI support, consumer-oriented products or services will not be successful. This is true of Amazon Go, Amazon’s convenience store, and Deer’s virtual personal assistant, Alexa. Although Amazon Go and Prime Air delivery are still at an early stage, Alexa has attracted more attention and this year it did not appear at the CES show. It is easy to see that Amazon is leading the field because Echo's release is actually equivalent to inventing a new product called voice assistant speaker.
Under the surface
AI is not limited to drones and virtual assistants. Bezos said AI plays an important role in its core business e-commerce. The company is using AI to forecast product demand, support search rankings, create and recommend transactions, detect fraud, and translate languages. Bezos said: "Although it is less obvious, the impact of machine learning technology is very large, and it is quietly and drastically improving our core operations." Of course, there is Amazon's highly automated warehouse, where robots are used to accelerate processing and Delivery time.
cloud computing
This is an area that people pay close attention to. However, Amazon’s dominance in this area is clear: The company’s revenue is more than five times that of its closest competitor, Microsoft. In addition to being able to support most of the network's S3 storage space, Amazon also provides developers with some simple tools that allow developers to integrate Amazon's artificial intelligence algorithms into their own applications, and let artificial intelligence companies run their own algorithms. .
For vendors like Amazon, cloud computing is also a good marketing tool, because the work done by others on this platform usually sounds equally impressive, without the need for suppliers to do a lot of patching and Design work can make the final product work.
Bezos has said that the company's "pre-packaged" artificial intelligence algorithms help predict disease and estimate farmer crop yields without the need for specialized machine learning techniques.
