Amazon: Reinventing AI or itself?

AWS gets a makeover.

This week, Tristan and Tasia look at Sports Illustrated’s use of AI-generated writers and Google Bard’s answering questions about YouTube videos. Then we discuss the AWS re:Invent conference, where Amazon unveiled a slew of AI innovations, including Amazon Q (its new corporate chatbot), Titan Image Generator, Amazon Transcribe’s expansion to over 100 languages, and Amazon’s next-generation AI chips. Join us as we ponder whether Amazon is playing catch-up or positioning itself as a leader in an AI-driven future.
