4. • Artificial Intelligence: design software applications which
exhibit human-like behavior, e.g. speech, natural
language processing, reasoning or intuition
• Machine Learning: teach machines to learn without being
explicitly programmed
• Deep Learning: using neural networks, teach machines to
learn from data where features cannot be explicitly
expressed
19. Jeff Bezos’ letter to Amazon shareholders
“We are solving problems with machine learning and
artificial intelligence that were in the realm of science fiction
for the last several decades. Natural language
understanding, machine vision problems, it really is an
amazing renaissance.”https://www.geekwire.com/2017/jeff-bezos-explains-amazons-artificial-intelligence-machine-learning-strategy/

Amazon Prime air is a delivery system from Amazon designed to safely get packages to customers in 30 minutes or less using unmanned aerial vehicles, also called drones.
Prime Air has great potential to enhance the services we already provide to millions of customers by providing rapid parcel delivery that will also increase the overall safety and efficiency of the transportation system.
Using AWS, C-SPAN can sample a frame every six seconds for recognition against indexed faces in a database of 97,000 people. Previously, this was done manually: Indexers scrolled through screen captures to identify who was speaking at any given point and select an image to represent each individual in each video. C-SPAN expects to save 8,000 to 9,000 hours a year in labor by automating that process using Rekognition, and will be able to index 100% of its incoming footage and archives.
