Recent hot topics in the IT industry include artificial intelligence (AI). Major companies like Apple, Google, and Microsoft are fiercely competing in the AI field. However, did you know that Amazon is falling behind in this competition? Is Amazon’s late response to AI a significant problem?
Amazon’s AI Challenge: Late but Promising?
It’s true that Amazon entered the AI field a bit late. However, Amazon still has the potential to establish a strong position in this field based on its robust technology and capital. As you know, Amazon’s Alexa has been loved for a long time. But now, AI needs to play a role beyond a simple voice assistant.
Challenges in the AI Competition
Amazon Web Services (AWS) has been a leader in the cloud market, but it is facing challenges as its growth rate slows down. AWS still has many customers, but Microsoft and Google are catching up quickly. Microsoft is growing rapidly by collaborating with OpenAI, and Google is also enhancing its AI technology. As a result, Amazon is facing an increasingly difficult situation.
Amazon’s AI Strategy
However, Amazon has not been idle. It has made aggressive moves, such as investing billions of dollars in Anthropic, a competitor to OpenAI, and launching its own large language models (LLMs). Amazon’s CEO Andy Jassy has stated that they are working to strengthen Alexa to become a “broad personal assistant.” Can these moves yield positive results?
Future Prospects of Amazon
The competition in the AI field seems to be just beginning. Although Amazon is still in the early stages, it has the potential to expand its presence in this market based on its strong technology and capital. Of course, more effort will be needed to close the gap with its competitors.
What do you think? Can Amazon survive in the AI competition? We look forward to seeing its future actions.
