Amazon Says It’s Been Working on ChatGPT Like Tech for Years

ChatGPT is everywhere and most tech companies have shown their cards but where is Amazon in all this?

Google, Microsoft, and many other companies are working on AI chatbots or partnering with companies that are developing them. But where is Amazon? We haven’t heard the brand making headlines or talking about its plans to compete with ChatGPT. Turns out, Amazon has been working on a ChatGPT-like AI model for a long time.

This claim has been made by none other than Amazon CEO Andy Jassy, ​​who was quoted as saying Interview This week by the Financial Times. Jesse also said that ChatGPT is exciting and he is interested to see what is possible with generative AI. He also pointed out that this type of technology is working in bigger and deeper tech companies, citing Amazon in the same sentence.

It is clear that Amazon has been a major player in the AI ​​field with the Alexa voice assistant which is built using machine learning. It even has tools geared towards developers. But it’s easy to see how some of Amazon’s supporters aren’t convinced by Jesse’s statement, especially as other tech rivals are moving at a faster pace to join the AI ​​bandwagon.

Microsoft has invested billions in Open AI to get instant access to ChatGPT, which is already integrated into Office, Edge and Bing Search. Google has come up with an in-house solution called Bard, which is a half-way product and is a work in progress. Even companies like Alibaba and Opera are working in this field.

And when Jesse was asked about Amazon’s AI plans to counter these brands, he said, Amazon is looking to partner with smaller firms to strengthen its AI arsenal. But once again, details were omitted, which has apparently created a sense of apprehension among people in the industry.

Amazon may be working on something big and it’s possible Google’s quick release doesn’t go as planned, it might just err on the side of caution and roll out the product when it’s ready for public service.
