Artificial intelligence (AI) played a big part in Amazon’s earnings commentary, but not as dominant as earnings events this week from Apple, Google </span><span data-preserver-spaces="true">and</span><span data-preserver-spaces="true"> Meta. </span></p> <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">“At a time when consumers are being careful about how much they spend, we’re continuing to lower prices and ship even more quickly,” Jassy told the earnings call audience, in a departure from the AI-obsessed remarks he made in </span><span data-preserver-spaces="true">previous</span><span data-preserver-spaces="true"> recent earnings events. “And we can see this resonating with customers as our unit growth continues to be strong and outpace our revenue growth.”</span></p> <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">That revenue growth propelled Amazon to </span><a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://ir.aboutamazon.com/news-release/news-release-details/2024/Amazon.com-Announces-Third-Quarter-Results/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span data-preserver-spaces="true">another record for net sales</span></a><span data-preserver-spaces="true">, which increased 11% to $158.9 billion in the third quarter, compared with $143.1 billion in </span><span data-preserver-spaces="true">third</span><span data-preserver-spaces="true"> quarter </span><span data-preserver-spaces="true">2023</span><span data-preserver-spaces="true">. </span></p> <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">With the customer — both consumer and business — at the center, Jassy went into a fair amount of detail about three areas that will distinguish it in 2025 and </span><span data-preserver-spaces="true">beyond:</span><span data-preserver-spaces="true"> placing AI monetization in the context of AWS as well as consumer-facing applications; an aggressive strategy for Amazon Pharmacy; and a refreshed line of Alexa devices. </span></p> <h2><strong>Monetizing AI</strong></h2> <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">On the AI </span><span data-preserver-spaces="true">front</span><span data-preserver-spaces="true"> Jassy positioned monetizing the technology as Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai did on Wednesday as part of existing products, applications </span><span data-preserver-spaces="true">and</span><span data-preserver-spaces="true"> services. Amazon’s artificial intelligence business has emerged as a growth driver for AWS, reaching a multibillion-dollar revenue run rate, as reported on the call, with triple-digit percentage growth year over year. </span></p> <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">The company has expanded its AI offerings through its Bedrock service, recently adding new models from Anthropic, Meta, and Mistral, while reporting that AWS has released nearly twice as many machine learning and generative AI features as other leading cloud providers combined in the past 18 months.</span></p> <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">“Our AI business is growing more than three times faster at this stage of its evolution as AWS itself grew and we felt like AWS grew pretty quickly,” Jassy said during the earnings call. </span></p> <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">The company has deployed AI across multiple products, including Rufus, its shopping assistant, which expanded to seven new international markets, and Amazon Q, a developer tool that Jassy said saved the company millions in a single migration project.</span></p> <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Jassy also tipped his hand on the importance of </span><a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.aboutamazon.com/news/retail/amazon-pharmacy-expands-same-day-prescription-delivery-united-states" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Amazon Pharmacy</span></a><span data-preserver-spaces="true">. The company will expand its prescription fulfillment service to 20 more cities next year, seeing a counterpoint to current in-store experiences.</span></p> <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">“Brick-and-mortar pharmacies account for just over 90% of prescriptions dispensed in the U.S. but require customers to make trips to physical venues with much of the selection behind locked shelves, waiting in lines for meds and only find out about pricing at the point of purchase,” he said. </span></p> <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">“The largest mail-order pharmacies offer deliver in five to 10 business days. We think customers deserve better. Today we can deliver to 95% of </span><span data-preserver-spaces="true">first-time</span><span data-preserver-spaces="true"> Amazon Pharmacy customers in the U.S. within two business days and to 20% of U.S. prime members within 24 hours.” </span></p> <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">And finally, in response to an analyst question, he addressed the controversy around developing a new generation of Alexa devices. That debut has </span><a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.theverge.com/2024/6/13/24177664/amazon-llm-alexa-delayed-fortune" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span data-preserver-spaces="true">reportedly been postponed</span></a><span data-preserver-spaces="true"> several times, and while Jassy didn’t promise a delivery date, it did sound from his comments that the new Alexa devices are in the final phases of development and will go the extra mile of actually placing </span><span data-preserver-spaces="true">order</span><span data-preserver-spaces="true"> with Amazon via voice interactions. Jassy did not seem interested in new Alexa devices that simply converse with users. He </span><span data-preserver-spaces="true">clearly</span><span data-preserver-spaces="true"> believed that AI </span><span data-preserver-spaces="true">has the capability to</span><span data-preserver-spaces="true"> handle </span><span data-preserver-spaces="true">order</span><span data-preserver-spaces="true">, delivery </span><span data-preserver-spaces="true">and</span><span data-preserver-spaces="true"> payments. </span></p> <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">“We believe that if we re-architect the brains of Alexa with </span><span data-preserver-spaces="true">next generation</span><span data-preserver-spaces="true"> foundational models, which we’re in the process of doing, we have an opportunity to be the leader in that space,” he said. </span></p> <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">“And I think if you look at a lot of the applications today that use generative AI, there’s a large number of them that are having success in cost avoidance and productivity. And then you’re increasingly seeing more applications that are </span><span data-preserver-spaces="true">impacting</span><span data-preserver-spaces="true"> the customer experience and being good at taking large amounts of data and being able to summarize and aggregate and answer questions, but not that many yet that are </span><span data-preserver-spaces="true">really</span><span data-preserver-spaces="true"> good on top of that in taking actions for customers. </span></p> <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">“I think that the next generation of these assistants and the generative AI applications will be </span><span data-preserver-spaces="true">better</span><span data-preserver-spaces="true"> at not just answering questions and summarizing indexing and aggregating data, but also taking </span><span data-preserver-spaces="true">actions</span><span data-preserver-spaces="true">.
