Amazon Strategy Teardown: Building New Business Pillars In AI, Next-Gen Logistics, And Enterprise Cloud Apps
Amazon is the exception to nearly every rule in business. Rising from humble beginnings as a Seattle-based internet bookstore, Amazon has grown into a propulsive force in at least five different giant industries: retail, logistics, consumer technology, cloud computing, and most recently, media and entertainment. The company has had its share of missteps -- the expensive Fire phone flop comes to mind -- but is also rightly known for strokes of strategic genius that have put it ahead of competitors in promising new industries. This was the case with the launch of cloud business AWS in the mid-2000s, and more recently the surprising consumer hit in the Echo device and its Alexa AI assistant. Today's Amazon is far more than just an "everything store," it's a leader in consumer-facing AI and enterprise cloud services. And its insatiable appetite for new markets mean competitors must always be on guard against its next moves.

Jeff Bezos lays out Amazon's three-pronged approach to AI
Amazonians and investors alike, rest assured: Jeff Bezos knows artificial intelligence is a big deal. The Amazon CEO took a few paragraphs in his annual shareholder letter to explain how the company is using AI throughout its business, having recognized and embraced the "external trend." The letter itself focuses on the idea that Amazon is still in "Day 1," still a startup that's well aware that irrelevance and excruciating decline begins when you reach Day 2. Bezos outlined three major categories that artificial intelligence falls into at the company: visible products and moonshots, core operations, and enterprise cloud. "The outside world can push you into Day 2 if you won't or can't embrace powerful trends quickly. If you fight them, you're probably fighting the future. Embrace them and you have a tailwind," Bezos writes.

How artificial intelligence is refashioning the retail industry
Fashion has always been intrigued by technology as a creative force. Almost two decades ago, designer Alexander McQueen made a lasting impression after using two robots to spray paint all over a model's white dress. Last year's glamorous Met Ball chose "Manus x Machina: Fashion in an Age of Technology" as its theme and, more recently, Chanel sent robot models dressed in pastel-coloured tweed suits down the runway. However, the link between fashion retail and technology is becoming much more than just an aesthetic thanks to the rampant rise of online shopping and the use of artificial technology, which is transforming the way people will shop.
How London startup Thread uses artificial intelligence and machine learning to help men buy clothes
Kieran O'Neill, CEO of London fashion startup Thread, is building a new way of shopping for clothes. His site uses online stylists, as well as artificial inteligence (AI) and machine learning, to create a personalised way to shop. But that can cause problems when he visits standard clothes shops. "We went to Liberty for a bit and I went to the men's section," O'Neill said in an interview at Thread's London office. "[I] went to the rack and was browsing and I looked at it and it wasn't my size. I felt this rage, this offence that why would you bother showing it to me if it's not actually in my size?"
