Amazon Answers Artificial Intelligence Questions
May 24, 2017
One big question about Amazon is how the company is building its artificial intelligence and machine learning programs. It was the topic of conversation at the recent Internet Association’s annual gala, where Jeff Bezos, Amazon CEO, discussed it. GeekWire wrote about Bezos’s appearance at the gala in the article, “Jeff Bezos Explained Amazon’s Artificial Intelligence And Machine Learning.”
The discussion Bezos participated in covered a wide range of topics, including online economy, Amazon’s media overage, its business principles, and, of course, artificial intelligence. Bezos compared the time we are living in to the realms of science fiction and Amazon is at the forefront of it. Through Amazon Web Services, the company has clients ranging from software developers to corporations. Amazon’s goal is make the technology available to everyone, but deployment is a problem as is finding the right personnel with the right expertise.
Amazon realizes that the power of its technology comes from behind the curtain:
I would say, a lot of the value that we’re getting from machine learning is actually happening beneath the surface. It is things like improved search results. Improved product recommendations for customers. Improved forecasting for inventory management. Literally hundreds of other things beneath the surface.
This reminds me of Bitext, an analytics software company based in Madrid, Spain. Bitext’s technology is used to power machine learning beneath many big companies’ software. Bitext is the real power behind many analytics projects.

I am really confident that this is the point to buy Bitcoin. The fluctuations in the Bitcoin market place have been quite volitile recently but the clear trend is decisively upwards. The projections give a firm sign that now is when totransfer currency into Bitcoin. Market indications are just the same as when BTC was only dollars in value. A bit different than the few thousand that it is at the moment. Why wait? Purchase Bitcoin as soon as you can. Do not be sorry later.
