Amazon is the latest tech giant to announce an AI bot

Apparently, the bot named Q will help companies write summaries of long documents and manage group conversations. The main goal of using a bot is, of course, to increase productivity.

Amazon's Q comes a year after OpenAI's ChatGPT arguably changed the tech world forever. Since then, we can observe how technological and also less technological companies work on the development of such and other artificially intelligent solutions.

On top of that, Amazon claims it will protect businesses from copyright issues that could arise from using the bot.

Amazon is referring to the large lawsuit against OpenAI developer (ChatGPT) recently presented in the media. The complications, which are the reason for the aforementioned lawsuit, came about due to the alleged violation of copyright in the teaching of the model.

According to the BBC, with its Q, Amazon aims to be more and more companies started to use their clothing services. Gradually, the model will be available in more  Amazon apps.

As far as we know, the Q bot is capable of answering customer questions, generating spreadsheets, analyzing data, and generally helping businesses with their code needs.

It's no secret that the AI race between the tech giants is getting tougher and tougher. So far, it seems that the main prize of this match is the ultimate innovation and, as everything shows, Microsoft is currently in first place. Why? Precisely because of large investments in ChatGPT.

Let's just remember that Amazon announced in September that it will invest approximately 3.5 billion euros in the AI company Anthropic, which is run by former employees of OpenAI. Among other things, Amazon also owns the company Mechanical Turk, which deals with learning AI models.

Fear of copyright

At the time of Q's release, Amazon was very adamant that it would protect companies from various allegations and potential copyright issues, such as the lawsuit brought by comedian Sarah Silverman against OpenAI and Facebook owner Meta.

Silverman, along with two authors, claims that her books were used to teach the ChatGPT model and that Meta's LIama model also used her work.

Just this month, a judge in the US dismissed most of Sarah Silverman's lawsuits.

In addition, other authors, including Margaret Atwood and Philip Pullman, have also called on artificial intelligence companies to pay for the use of their content.
