Amazon is upgrading Alexa with artificial intelligence. The company is set to introduce a more conversational version of its Alexa, designed to level the playing field with the latest AI-powered chatbots from Google and OpenAI. Amazon has been working to overcome the perception that it’s behind in AI capabilities, despite its offerings on Amazon Web Services. This move comes on the heels of OpenAI’s recent announcement of a chatbot that can engage in two-way conversations and even translate languages in real-time, encouraging the need for Amazon to stay competitive.
