Amazon is ‘investing heavily’ in the technology behind ChatGPT
Amazon wants investors to know it won’t be left behind in the latest Big Tech arms race
over artificial intelligence.
In a letter to shareholders Thursday, Amazon (AMZN) CEO Andy Jassy said the
company is “investing heavily” in large language models (LLMs) and generative AI, the same
technology that underpins ChatGPT and other similar AI chatbots.
“We have been working on our own LLMs for a while now, believe it will transform and
improve virtually every customer experience, and will continue to invest substantially in these
models across all of our consumer, seller, brand, and creator experiences,” Jassy wrote in his letter
to shareholders.
The remarks, which were part of Jassy’s second annual letter to shareholder since
taking over as CEO, hint at the pressure that many tech companies feel to explain how they can
tap into the rapidly evolving marketplace for AI products. Since ChatGPT was released to the
public in late November, Google (GOOG), Facebook (FB) and Microsoft (MSFT) have all talked up
their growing focus on generative AI technology, which can create compelling essays, stories and
visuals in response to user prompts.
Amazon’s goal, according to Jassy, is to offer less costly machine learning chips so that
“small and large companies can afford to train and run their LLMs in production.” Large language
models are trained on vast troves of data in order to generate responses to user prompts.
“Most companies want to use these large language models, but the really good ones
take billions of dollars to train and many years, most companies don’t want to go through that,”
Jassy said in an interview with CNBC on Thursday morning.
“What they want to do is they want to work off of a foundational model that’s big and
great already, and then have the ability to customize it for their own purposes,” Jassy told CNBC.
With that in mind, Amazon on Thursday unveiled a new service called Bedrock. It
essentially makes foundation models (large models that are pre-trained on vast amounts of data) from AI21 Labs, Anthropic, Stability AI and Amazon accessible to clients via an API, Amazon said in
a blog post.
Jassy told CNBC he thinks Bedrock “will change the game for people.”
In his letter to shareholders, Jassy also touted AWS’s CodeWhisperer, another AIpowered tool which he said “revolutionizes developer productivity by generating code suggestions
in real time.”
“I could write an entire letter on LLMs and Generative AI as I think they will be that
transformative, but I’ll leave that for a future letter,” Jassy wrote. “Let’s just say that LLMs and
Generative AI are going to be a big deal for customers, our shareholders, and Amazon.”
In the letter, Jassy also reflected on leading Amazon through “one of the harder
macroeconomic years in recent memory,” as the e-commerce giant cut some 27,000 jobs as part
of a major bid to rein in costs in recent months.
“There were an unusual number of simultaneous challenges this past year,” Jassy said
in the letter, before outlining steps Amazon took to rethink certain free shipping options, abandon
some of its physical store concepts and significantly reduce overall headcount.
Amazon disclosed in a securities filing Thursday that Jassy’s pay package last year
was valued at some $1.3 million, and that the CEO did not receive any new stock awards in 2022.
(When Jassy took over as CEO in 2021, he was awarded a pay package mostly comprised of
stock awards that valued his total compensation package at some $212 million.)
Despite the challenges at Amazon, however, Jassy said in his letter that he finds
himself “optimistic and energized by what lies ahead.” Jassy added: “I strongly believe that our
best days are in front of us.”

Artificial General Intelligence Is Not as Imminent as You
Might Think
To the average person, it must seem as if the field
of artificial intelligence is making immense progress.
According to the press releases, and some of the more
________ media accounts, OpenAI’s DALL-E 2 can seemingly
create spectacular images from any text; another OpenAI
system called GPT-3 can talk about just about anything; and
a system called Gato that was released in May by DeepMind,
a division of Alphabet, seemingly worked well on every task
the company could throw at it. One of DeepMind’s highlevel executives even went so far as to brag that in the quest
for artificial general intelligence (AGI), AI that has the
flexibility and resourcefulness of human intelligence, “The
Game is Over!” And Elon Musk said recently that he would
be surprised if we didn’t have artificial general intelligence
by 2029.
Don’t be fooled. Machines may someday be as
smart as people, and perhaps even smarter, but the game is
far from over. There is still an immense amount of work to
be done in making machines that truly can comprehend and
reason about the world around them. What we really need
right now is less posturing and more basic research.
To be sure, there are indeed some ways in which AI
truly is making progress—synthetic images look more and
more realistic, and speech recognition can often work in
noisy environments—but we are still light-years away from
general purpose, human-level AI that can understand the
true meanings of articles and videos, or deal with
unexpected obstacles and interruptions. We are still stuck
on precisely the same challenges that academic scientists
having been pointing out for years: getting AI to be reliable
and getting it to cope with unusual circumstances.

Text CB1A2-II
There’s one fact that seems to stand out for anyone who has read Rama Gheerawo’s 2022 book, Creative leadership: born from design. It likely sticks with people because it seems so absurd as to border on very bleak comedy, but also because it reveals a fundamental truth about how unnervingly simple us humans can be.
In the very first chapter of the book, we learn that a study of Fortune 500 companies showed that (in America), something as arbitrary as height can be the key to the C-suite: 4% of adult men in the general US population are 6’2” or taller, but 30% in the CEO sample reached those heights. It feels pathetically caveman-like that even now, in the 21st century, we implicitly place power in the hands of those who are taller than us — or that those taller than us have a natural propensity to get that power for themselves.
For Gheerawo, issues around leadership really came to a head around 15 years ago, he says, when he found himself “really disillusioned” with the constant and innumerable ways the world excluded certain groups of people, and how much of that could be solved if there was far more willingness from decision-makers to involve design early on as a key tool for problem-solving.

M .O. Obimpeh and J.A. Dankwa. Public administration – public management interface: how different is the “management” from the “administration”? Internet: (adapted)
Text CB1A2-I
The quest for universal administrative standards to
promote the effective application of public laws and policies
gave birth to the field of public administration. Woodrow Wilson
argued for a distinction between politics and administration,
arguing that the former was more concerned with democracy,
justice, and equality, while the latter was more concerned with
efficiency, as he postulated that “administration lies beyond the
proper domain of politics; administrative questions are not
political questions” (Wilson, 1887).
According to Waldo (1948), the means and measurements
of efficiency were the same for all administrations: democracy, if
it were to survive, could not afford to ignore the lessons of
centralization, hierarchy and discipline. Bureaucracy as an
organisational type has seen its heyday in the field of public
administration, owing to Woodrow Wilson’s Transfer of
Administrative Principles.
That notwithstanding, the field has gone through
paradigmatic evolution over time by a quest for management
paradigm derived from the discipline of business administration.
The management approach is said to hold the promise of future
public sector reform, replacing the administrative approach
traditionally provided by public administration. A new concept
arises when the management perspective is combined with an
emphasis on the public sector: public management.
Courses and programmes, as well as whole academic
institutions and colleges, are adapting by switching from the term
“public administration” to “public management”. Considering
the growing demands for efficiency in the public sector, the
transition from a public administration to a public management
framework seems to be the right step.
