Is Generative AI Worthwhile? Insights from a Former Amazon CEO, AWS Chief Executive Jeff Bezos

Selipsky says that companies looking for ways to apply generative AI to their own business or industry need to be careful they aren’t misled by the hype. “Many companies and organizations are struggling to understand, ‘Out of these hundred pilots or proofs-of-concept that I have going on, which ones do I take into production?’” he says. “And they’re starting to see that it can be very expensive once they go into production.” The implication? A lot of generative AI projects may not have much time left to live. The technology can be expensive to deploy because of the many high-powered computer chips required for generative AI projects.

Selipsky was a marketing executive forAWS in 2005 and left the company in 2016 to become the CEO of Tableau, which was sold toSalesforce. He was hired back to lead AWS in 2021 by Andy Jassy, who had just vacated that position to succeed Jeff Bezos as Amazon CEO, and had originally hired Selipsky to his first stint at Amazon.

OpenAI and Google One: The Rise of AI Service and Personality in Cosmic Intelligence (and Other AI-Like Services)

Jack Krawczynski, a director of product management, says that the newgemini will understand intent and react with personality, as a departure from the previous neutral tone. That may be inspired by some smaller artificial intelligence upstarts, such as Pi from startup Inflectionai, and various app-specific personas that come with their GPTs.

That new bundle from the search engine is much more than a subscription to Openai. It costs $20 a month. There is a service that gives access to the company’s powerful version of its chatbot and also Openai’s new store that offers custom chat functions. For the same monthly cost, Google One customers can now get extra Gmail, Drive and Photo storage in addition to a more powerful chat-ified search experience.

When OpenAI’s ChatGPT opened a new era in tech, the industry’s former AI champ, Google, responded by reorganizing its labs and launching a profusion of sometimes overlapping AI services. This included the Bard chatbot, workplace helper Duet AI, and a chatbot-style version of search.
