Amazon Is Humiliating Google & Apple In The AI Wars

Amazon's strategy to make Alexa available absolutely everywhere on every device ever created will give it the advantage it needs in the upcoming AI wars. The news that Amazon is making its AI technology available in the UK to third party developers (it's been available to US devs since 2015) is another nail in the coffin for rivals. Amazon has already deeply embedded its AI into the UK's national psyche with round-the-clock adverts over the Christmas period. And it worked, sales look good and even my non-techy older family members are riveted by the assistant. Now, it's delving further into our lives by latching on to other devices we use regularly like a virtual barnacle.
