For this reason, Amazon is investing heavily in this sector, with over 1,000 GenAI applications in development. He also noted that AI is already transforming sectors like coding, shopping, healthcare, and robotics, and <strong>Amazon believes these changes will happen faster than any previous technological revolution.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"3991\" data-end=\"4067\">Let\u2019s now look point by point at the main reflections Jassy wanted to share.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"4069\" data-end=\"4104\">The Cost of Artificial Intelligence<\/h3>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"4106\" data-end=\"4315\">Amazon acknowledges that AI is currently too expensive due to dependence on a single chip supplier. The company is tackling this issue with Trainium2 chips, which offer a 30-40% better price-performance ratio.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"4317\" data-end=\"4627\">An important point is the distinction between model training costs and inference (output) costs: while most costs today concern training, in the future inference will represent the greater expense. <strong>Amazon expects inference efficiency to improve significantly over the next two years, making AI more accessible.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>&gt;&gt;&gt; Also read our article <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zonwizard.com\/blog\/ultimate-guide-to-selling-on-amazon-north-america-conquer-new-markets-with-zonwizard\/\">How to Sell on Amazon USA: The Complete Guide for European Sellers<\/a>.\u00a0&lt;&lt;&lt;<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"4727\" data-end=\"4771\">Alexa+ and the Future of Personal Assistants<\/h3>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"4773\" data-end=\"5095\">The CEO identifies the value of a true personal assistant in the ability to both answer questions AND perform concrete actions.
