Amazon.com has bolstered its board by adding Andrew Ng, a renowned computer scientist with extensive experience in leading artificial intelligence (AI) projects at Google and Baidu.
This move comes amidst intensifying competition among major technology companies to enhance their AI offerings and attract users for their next-generation AI products.
Amazon’s cloud computing unit faces challenges from competitors such as Microsoft, which has forged early partnerships with AI developers like OpenAI and incorporated their technology into Azure.
Additionally, Amazon’s Alexa voice assistant faces stiff competition from emerging GenAI chat tools developed by companies like OpenAI and Google.
Andrew Ng’s appointment to Amazon’s board, effective April 9, underscores the company’s strategic focus on leveraging AI expertise to maintain its competitive edge in the rapidly evolving tech landscape.
Ng’s extensive experience and deep understanding of AI technologies will provide valuable insights as Amazon navigates the increasingly competitive AI market.
The decision to appoint Ng follows recent job cuts across Amazon, driven by macroeconomic factors such as inflation and high-interest rates, impacting enterprise cloud spending and e-commerce sales. Despite these challenges, CEO Andy Jassy remains optimistic about Amazon’s future, emphasizing the company’s commitment to reducing costs while strengthening key business segments like cloud services and advertising.
In addition to his role at Amazon, Andrew Ng is an adjunct professor at Stanford University and is actively involved in AI venture studios and learning firms.
His diverse background and extensive experience in academia and industry make him a valuable addition to Amazon’s board as the company continues to innovate and expand its AI capabilities.
