Amazon to Release an AI Chatbot Called Q for Corporate Customers

[ad_1] Amazon.com Inc. has joined the chatbot race, announcing Amazon Q, a digital assistant that will help corporate customers search for information, write code and review business metrics. Amazon Web Services, the retailer's cloud-computing division, is infusing generative artificial intelligence into more products, expanding its efforts to reclaim ground in a field led by its main rivals.  Chatbots powered by generative AI are “genuinely super useful for consumers,” Adam Selipsky, chief executive officer of AWS, said Tuesday at re:Invent, the company's conference in Las Vegas. “But in a lot of ways, these applications don't really work at work.” Amazon Q, which the company says was trained in part on AWS's internal code and documentation, will be available for developers who use the...

How Amazon Is Going After Microsoft’s Cloud Computing Ambitions

[ad_1] Amazon is the driving force behind a trio of advocacy groups working to thwart Microsoft's growing ambition to become a major cloud computing contractor for governments, a Bloomberg analysis shows. The groups — the Cloud Infrastructure Services Providers in Europe (CISPE), the Coalition for Fair Software Licensing and the Alliance for Digital Innovation — want to convince policymakers that Microsoft has improperly locked customers into Azure, its cloud computing service, choking off its rivals and hindering the advancement of technology within the government and beyond. These groups have dozens of members. But Amazon is the biggest funder for two of them and the largest company, measured by revenue, that funds another. Spokespeople for the groups say no single company determine...

Now under mounting pressure from its owner Amazon.com Inc. to cut costs, the company's new chief executive officer is testing out a less expensive way of strengthening its bond with the creative community — a cross-country, listening tour.  Since taking over in March, Dan Clancy, the platform's new guitar-playing, folk-music-loving  CEO, has been traveling around the US in a van, meeting with prominent celebrity streamers and lending an ear to their ideas and concerns.  Along t...

Fears about Amazon and Microsoft cloud computing dominance trigger UK probe

[ad_1] Concerns from regulators about the dominance of Amazon and Microsoft in Britain's cloud computing market have triggered an investigation into the competitiveness of the key industry. The U.K. communications regulator Ofcom said Thursday that its yearlong study of the cloud communications services market found features that could limit competition. British businesses face barriers when they try to switch or use multiple cloud suppliers, it said. Cloud computing uses data centers around the world to store photos and emails or run software. It has become a vital service for many businesses, which turn to cloud providers to avoid the cost of buying expensive equipment and real estate to run their own data centers. Ofcom asked the U.K. antitrust watchdog, the Competition and Markets...
