On September 19, CNBC reported that a beta version of Amelia is only accessible to select US sellers via Amazon’s internal dashboard, Seller Central. The e-commerce giant plans to make it available to all sellers later this year.

AI Solutions

Amazon has launched multiple AI products in recent years. The e-commerce giant has previously introduced an AI shopping assistant called Rufus, a chatbot called dubbed Q, and a generative AI service called Bedrock. Amazon is planning to upgrade its voice assistant, Alexa with generative AI.

Amazon described the new AI tool as an all-in-one selling expert. Amelia is the latest generative AI tool that the e-commerce giant has launched this year as it works to capitalize the ChatGPT hype.

In April this year, Amazon CEO, Andy Jassy said generative AI presents an unprecedented opportunity and that capital is required to leverage it. Amazon has already invested billions of orders in OpenAI’s rival, Anthropic.

Focus on Third-Party Sellers

Third-party sellers form the backbone of Amazon’s e-commerce business. Since 2017, these sellers have accounted for 50% of products that are sold on the website. This number hit the 61% mark in quarter two of this year.

The prevalence of AI on Amazon’s e-commerce website is mostly geared to help third-party sellers grow their businesses. Visitors are now interacting with AI-generated product reviews on the e-commerce platform. The company has also introduced AI features to help third-party sellers generate ad photos and craft product listings.

On September 19, the e-commerce giant said it will be introducing tools that allow sellers to produce bulk AI-generated video ads and listings based on their product catalogs.

During the annual sellers conference, Amazon announced that it already started using AI to personalize product listings and recommendations based on customer shopping history.

According to Dharmesh Mehta, VP of Worldwide Selling Partner Services at Amazon, the number of Amazon sellers who use AI tools is increasing. Over 400K of Amazon sellers have already used it’s AI product listing tool.

Solving the Troubleshooting Challenge

With its new AI-based selling assistant tool, Amazon is looking to address the account troubleshooting challenge for third-party sellers. Currently, the company relies on large seller support teams to resolve inventory and account suspension issues for sellers.

Merchants have been complaining about delays they experience in getting their issues resolved or reaching customer service agents. The company says, Amelia can investigate account issues. In future, the Amazon AI tool will be able to fix problems on behalf of the seller. Instead of filing a missing inventory form, sellers will be able to ask Amelia to file the claim or get the tool to automatically resolve the issue.

“There are going to be places where, hey, instead of chatting with seller support or getting on the phone with someone, maybe Amelia is able to do that and do that faster. I don’t need to send an email to someone and wait for a response,” Mehta said.

According to Amazon, the AI selling assistant is built on Bedrock, a software that allows users to access the company’s large language models as well as those that belong to other AI companies including Anthropic and Stability.

Reuters reported that the deal to produce custom AI chips for Amazon was signed by Intel’s foundry business, giving the chip manufacturer a vote of confidence.

A Struggling Unit

Intel’s decision to make custom artificial intelligence chips for AWS through its foundry business has been viewed as an attempt to reinvigorate the struggling unit that is set to become Intel’s subsidiary.

In a memo sent to employees, Intel CEO, Pat Gelsinger said, “A subsidiary structure will unlock important benefits. It provides our external foundry customers and suppliers with clearer separation and independence from the rest of Intel. Importantly, it also gives us future flexibility to evaluate independent sources of funding and optimize the capital structure of each business to maximize growth and shareholder value creation.”

Gelsinger’s memo also indicated that Intel will design and manufacture the AI chips for Amazon.

AI Fabric Chip

Amazon already designs chips for its data centers through its AWS cloud computing division. In July this year, the company unveiled its non-AI Graviton4 chip that the e-commerce giant said offers superior efficiency, performance, memory, and higher computing power.

Previously, Amazon has hired Intel to package its chip versions. Under the new contract, Intel will design an artificial intelligence fabric chip for AWS using the 18A process. This will be the most advanced AI chip version that AWS will make available to its external customers. Intel expects to create additional designs from Amazon on its upcoming 18AP and 14A manufacturing process.

Staying Afloat

The memo sent by Gelsinger outlined the steps that Intel will take to revive itself, including cost cutting measures. Some of the measures highlighted in the memo included voluntary early retirement offerings to reduce its workforce to about 15,000 employees by the end of 2024.

The CEO said the company will still be making difficult decisions and that affected employees will be informed in mid October. Last month, the tech giant reported a dip in its quarter two earnings.

“The board and I agreed that we have a lot of work ahead to drive greater efficiency, improve our profitability, and enhance our market competitiveness,” Gelsinger said in the memo.

One of the steps that the Intel board has decided to take is selling the company’s stake in Altera, a programmable chip business the company owns. Intel will also pause its chip factory construction project in Germany for about two years and halt the Poland project as well.

In March this year, Intel signed a preliminary non-binding agreement with the U.S. Department of Commerce. Under this agreement, Intel expects to receive direct funding amounting up to $8.5 billion under the Chips and Science Act. This funding will enable the chip maker to advance its commercial semiconductor projects across four states.

Intel had announced plans to invest over $100 billion to expand its US chip making capabilities and capacity, which are critical to national security, economic security, and acceleration of emerging technologies like AI. Collectively, Intel’s investments are expected to generate tens of thousands of direct and indirect jobs.

The Oprah special show was a mix of excitement and caution as the discussions highlighted good and bad aspects of AI technology. TechCrunch termed the tone of the show as skeptical and guarded.

Here are key highlights from the “AI and the Future of Us” interview:

The Public Trust Question

Oprah’s AI interview segment with Altman was largely calm. But the American TV host raised one of the critical concerns about AI public trust. Oprah asked Altman whether he could be trusted with a technology that lawmakers and experts have said could lead to job losses and affect humanity.

Altman’s response underscored the potential of AI technology. But he also talked about the need for transparency, maintaining an open dialogue, and delaying AI products where there is a need to do so.

“The best thing we can do is to put this technology in the hands of people, talk about what it is capable of, what it’s not, what we think is going to come, what we think might come, give our best advice about how society should decide to use this, say when we think it’s important to not release something, which we also might get wrong, and build up that trust over time,” he told Winfrey.

Previously, Altman’s commitment to AI safety had been questioned. During Oprah’s Special, he claimed that AI systems can learn underlying concepts within the data they’re trained on, something many experts have disagreed with. 

The Security Threat

Oprah also raised concerns about the security threats posed by the misuse of AI technology in her conversation with Altman. 

“I don’t want to give a false sense of security here. I’m tremendously excited for the good. I think the good will be incredible, but there will be bad too, and we’ll mitigate as much as we can. We have the whole field. But this technology will be misused, like every other technology before it. And we need to be clear-eyed about that, even though — even though I’m so convinced that the upside will be so tremendous,” Altman said.

Altman also noted that he regularly communicates with government officials to discuss how AI systems can be tested for safety and how regulation can enhance security. 

Oprah’s show highlighted another significant AI security issue – Deepfakes. 

YouTube content creator Marques Brownlee demonstrated how AI systems are used to create deepfakes that spread misinformation online. Comparing a sample OpenAI’s Sora footage with an AI-generated footage generated a month ago, Brownlee illustrated how rapidly AI technology has progressed.

FBI’s Christopher Wray also weighed in on the deepfakes security threat who raised concerns over the use of AI-enhanced deepfakes in sextortion and spreading disinformation.

“I was in a conference room, and a bunch of folks got together to show me how AI-enhanced deepfakes can be created. And they had created a video of me saying things I had never said before and would never say,” Wray said.

Wray emphasized the need to acknowledge AI’s vulnerability to misuse in political contexts, particularly by foreigners who may want to undermine democratic processes.

AI Disruption

Bill Gates was expected to discuss the impact of AI on different sectors. Appearing on Oprah’s ‘AI and the Future of Us’ show, Bill Gates expressed hope that AI will improve health and education in unimaginable ways. Gates explained how AI helps improve doctor-patient engagement.

“AI is like a third person sitting in a medical appointment, doing a transcript, suggesting a prescription. And so instead of the doctor facing a computer screen, they’re engaging with you, and the software is making sure there’s a really good transcript,” Gates said.

In education, Gates argued that, unlike human teachers, AI is always available to students. It can motivate them, whatever their knowledge levels are.

Throughout the interview, Gates steered clear of the bias that could arise due to poor AI training. Studies have shown that speech recognition software is more likely to incorrectly transcribe audio from Black speakers than from white speakers. AI biases occur when human biases skew AI algorithms or original training data, leading to distorted outputs and harmful outcomes. 

Conclusion

Oprah’s special show highlighted the potential of AI and the emerging threats that come with its increasing integration into our daily lives. The interview underscored the need for continuous vigilance and regulatory action to safeguard society against rapidly developing technology. As AI systems evolve, new threats will emerge hence the need to balance innovation, ethics, and regulation.

Oprah in her recent intention has expressed her fascination with AI’s potential to make the world better. “I’m fascinated by how this technology, AI, is going to be a resource for change and improvements and making the world better. And yet, the other side of it: Who’s in control of it, and what happens when the bad guys get it?” – Oprah added.

The Oprah Gates Altman interview will explore AI’s future impact on society. The one-hour Oprah special show will air on ABC and stream on Hulu the following day.

Here’s what viewers can expect from the show:

The Ethics of AI

In her interview with OpenAI’s Sam Altman, Oprah Winfrey will be seeking to give viewers a layman’s explanation of AI technology, how it works, and ethical considerations on the part of AI companies.

In the past, questions have been raised about the role of AI company executives in ensuring that AI technologies align with societal values. AI companies have also been in the spotlight over ethical issues like AI algorithm biases, copyright infringement, and transparency of AI-driven decisions.

OpenAI has been accused of copyright infringement multiple times. In December last year, the New York Times sued the company for using its articles to train its AI models like ChatGPT.

Viewers can expect these issues to be at the heart of Oprah’s interview with Altman. In this conversation, Altman will likely clarify the immense responsibility AI company executives have in AI development and execution during the show.

Impact of AI on Job Market

Job loss due to AI is a major concern for many and will be a key topic in the upcoming Oprah Winfrey interview with Bill Gates. While AI has the potential to create new job opportunities, it is also estimated that up to 300 million jobs worldwide could be automated by AI, potentially leaving many people unemployed.

In May this year, former Google VP, Prof. Geoffrey Hinton raised an alarming AI warning about AI’s impact on the job market. He said robots and AI will hurt society and leave millions of people jobless. It will take up a big chunk of routine jobs and lead to the disappearance of numerous mid-level and blue-collar jobs.

As she hosts Microsoft’s Co-founder Bill Gates, Oprah Winfrey will likely discuss AI-driven innovation in different sectors, including healthcare. The conversation will also focus on AI’s impact on jobs. Gates will likely raise warnings about the effects of AI on routine tasks while highlighting its ability to enhance productivity for white-collar jobs.

AI Capabilities and Challenges

Viewers can expect to hear more about AI potential, capabilities, and challenges throughout the show. Popular YouTube creator, Marques Brownlee, who uses AI to brainstorm video ideas and edit thumbnails will showcase AI capabilities on the show.

Altman will likely share insights and perspectives on the opportunities AI presents including augmenting human capabilities and performing tasks autonomously. He will also discuss the challenges with AI regulation and the threat for large-scale disinformation due to AI model ability to write computer codes.

As a tech pioneer and philanthropist, Gates is expected to share insights on AI’s potential to improve sectors like health, science, and education on the show. He will also discuss the changes that AI could cause in these sectors. Viewers can expect to get a balanced view of AI’s opportunities and challenges in society from his perspective.

AI Risks and Threats

The ‘AI and the Future of Us’ event will help viewers understand the risks and threats posed by AI technology. Oprah’s conversation with Tristan Harris and Aza Raskin will focus on risks associated with powerful AI systems. She will also feature Marilynne Robinson on the show to discuss the AI threats to human values and how to resist its convenience.

FBI Director, Christopher Wray will appear on the Gates Altman interview with Oprah to shed light on emerging security threats, including how criminals and foreign adversaries use AI to advance their agenda.

The “AI and the Future of Us: An Oprah Winfrey Special” show is a production of Winfrey’s Harpo Productions.
