The next big thing – Part of a Walt Mossberg interview with Jeff Bezos



Bezos, along with other Code speakers like Google CEO Sundar Pichai and Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg, talked about artificial intelligence being the next big tech innovation and battleground. “I think it’s gigantic,” Bezos said. “It’s probably hard to overstate how big of an impact it’s going to have on society over the next 20 years. It has been a dream since the early days of science fiction to have a computer that you can talk to in a natural way and actually ask it to have a conversation with you and ask it to do things for you. And that is coming true.”

He said that he is “deeply committed” to AI being a huge part of Amazon’s business and that the company has worked secretly on it for four years. But, even though Amazon has jumped out ahead in voice-controlled smart assistants with its Echo hardware powered by its Alexa AI platform, Bezos predicted that “all the major tech companies will do this, but there’ll also be hundreds of startup companies.” He predicted that people will use different AI “agents” for different things.

Still, he added, it’s very early. It’s not only the first inning for AI, he said, “it might even be the first guy’s up at bat.”
