Who will produce the most widely utilized mainstream A.I., Google or?
I suspect AI in the sense youre probably thinking of wont be generated by either Amazon or Google. Amazons core mission with Alexa is to make shopping on Amazon easier, E.G. Alexa order me Toilet roll, or Alexa, what movies is The Rock in? with the response to that last one, shall I add that to your cart or play for you? Google meanwhile want to use Google Home as a tool to learn more about you and your life so they can change their algorithms and sell better advertising to you. Neither are producing something that will replace they keyboard / mouse / touch interface between the computer that over 99.9999% of all computer interactions we have involve. As for who will win out, to use Amazons actual business model, they are currently only serving that mission to sell you items, and allow easy enough integration with third party developers, but at the end of the day, they want to make it easier to sell you stuff, while Google are looking to solve actual real world problems which help them understand you better, so they can profit more from you. For me its Google FTW, unless something drastically changes at Amazon.
