Jeff Bezos Pushes AI-Driven Redesign for Prime Video
Jeff Bezos wants to make Prime Video smarter using AI.
He asked the team to redesign the service so it can learn what you like and suggest better movies and shows.
This includes using voice commands and a new home screen with AI suggestions.
Amazon is also thinking about adding Alexa to help you find things.
They are testing this with some users and might change it based on feedback.
Bezos thinks this will keep people using Prime Video more, which is important for Amazon's business.
They have spent a lot of money on AI to make this happen.
Jeff Bezos initiated a major AI-driven redesign of Prime Video called 'Lighthouse'.
The redesign aims to improve film and TV recommendations using AI and voice commands.
Prime Video is considering integrating Alexa for search and browsing.
Amazon has invested heavily in AI, with $200 billion in capital expenditures and $23 billion in OpenAI and Anthropic.
Prime Video ranks fourth in streaming viewing share in the U.S., behind YouTube, Netflix, and Disney+.
