Amazon’s finance teams are using generative AI for tasks such as fraud detection, contract review, financial forecasting, personal productivity, rule and regulation interpretation, and tax-related work.

Amazon is shifting its focus to AI innovations, driven by its cloud-computing unit Amazon Web Services (AWS) capabilities.

The shift has contributed to a surge in companywide sales for the most recent quarter.

Amazon expects cash capital expenditures to increase significantly this year due to investments in technology infrastructure, specifically generative AI efforts.

Recent reports indicated Amazon is working on a new AI chatbot, codenamed “Metis,” to compete with OpenAI’s ChatGPT. It can provide real-time information and automate tasks via the retrieval-augmented generation technique.

Price Action: AMZN shares are trading higher by 1.13% at $195.76 at last check Thursday.
