00:00This is the next generation of Alexa.
00:01She's powered by Gen AI.
00:03Smarter, conversational, personal.
00:05Just get stuff done.
00:07Last year, Amazon's attempt to launch a new Gen AI-powered
00:10version of Alexa fell short.
00:12Amazon's launch of its new AI-powered Alexa
00:15has reportedly been delayed until next year.
00:18A year later, and a decade after the Voice Assistant's
00:21original launch, Amazon is finally
00:24introducing a new Alexa for the Gen AI age.
00:27Did someone let the dog out today?
00:29I checked the cameras, and yes, in fact, Mozart was just out.
00:33Rather than just playing music, turning on lights,
00:36or setting timers, the new Alexa will make dinner reservations,
00:40order you an Uber, and help you search for, and even
00:43buy, concert tickets.
00:45I have a birthday gathering coming up,
00:47so can you give me all the ingredients
00:49I would need to make penne puttanesca?
00:52But will these upgraded features,
00:53powered by large language models,
00:55be enough to set Alexa apart in what has increasingly
00:58become a crowded voice AI market?
01:01This was first announced, in a way,
01:03without a name or a different name, September of 2023.
01:07You were not even an Amazon employee yet.
01:10Can you explain a couple reasons, or one big reason,
01:14why this is so difficult to launch?
01:17I think, at the end of the day, people wanted to hear, hey,
01:20don't you just plug an LLM in and make it shine?
01:26And it's so much more nuanced than that.
01:27To get it as personal as it is, to get the history,
01:29the memory, the understanding, then
01:31being able to call the right APIs, thousands of APIs,
01:34to decide what the product's going to do.
01:36We're just at the beginning of this.
01:38And so today, I'm super excited to announce
01:44that GM has selected NVIDIA to partner with them
01:47to build their future self-driving car fleet.
01:49The time for autonomous vehicles has arrived.
01:53And we're looking forward to building with GM AI
01:58in all three areas.
02:00AI for manufacturing, so they can revolutionize
02:03the way they manufacture.
02:04AI for enterprise, so they can revolutionize
02:07the way they work, design cars and simulate cars.
02:10And then also, AI for in the car.
02:13And we're looking forward to building
02:15design cars and simulate cars.
02:16And then also, AI for in the car.
02:19So AI infrastructure for GM, partnering with GM
02:23and building with GM their AI.
02:26So I'm super excited about that.
