Amazon hired Adept to develop AGI, a "stupid" choice by the tech giant

In this era of information explosion, every move of technology giants affects the nerve of the public. Recently, Amazon announced that it has hired Adept Technology company to develop advanced Artificial intelligence system (AGI), which undoubtedly triggered the hot discussion in tech circles again. However, behind this seemingly bright, we can not help but ask: Amazon's choice, is it a visionary "wisdom" investment, or an impulsive "stupid" choice?

First, let's look at why Amazon hired Adept to develop AGI. As a global e-commerce giant, Amazon has been seeking to consolidate its market position through technological innovation. As a cutting-edge technology in the field of artificial intelligence, AGI has great commercial potential and application value. Amazon hopes to use Adept's technology to further improve the efficiency of its smart warehousing, logistics, customer service and other aspects, so as to take a more advantageous position in the fierce market competition.

However, the ideal is very plump, but the reality is often very thin. Amazon's choice this time, seemingly bright, but hidden worries. First of all, Adept's strength in AI is not widely recognized by the industry. While the company claims to have advanced AGI technology, there have been few tangible results so far. Amazon has given such an important research and development task to a partner with questionable strength, which is undoubtedly a serious damage to its own technical strength and brand image.

Second, AGI technology is extremely difficult and risky to develop. The development of the field of artificial intelligence is changing rapidly, and the speed of technological upgrading is extremely fast. AGI as an advanced form of artificial intelligence, its research and development difficulty can be imagined. By investing a lot of resources in such an uncertain project, Amazon may not only face the great risk of technical failure, but also may miss out on other more mature and stable technological innovation opportunities.

Furthermore, Amazon's hiring of Adept to develop AGI also exposes its shortsighted and blind approach to technological innovation strategy. As a leading global technology company, Amazon should be more forward-looking and strategic, focusing on those innovative technologies that can truly lead the future of technology development. However, Amazon has poured a lot of resources into an AGI project that is not widely recognized and has an unknown future, which is undoubtedly a serious deviation from its technology innovation strategy.

More ironically, Amazon's choice has also raised questions about its business ethics. In recent years, Amazon has been criticized for its neglect of employee rights, suppression of competitors, and indifference to consumer rights. The hiring of Adept to develop AGI is interpreted by the outside world as an attempt by Amazon to further consolidate its market monopoly through technological means and squeeze the living space of competitors. Such behavior not only violates the principle of fair competition in a market economy, but also seriously damages Amazon's image and reputation as a leading global technology company.

In summary, Amazon's decision to hire Adept to develop AGI is undoubtedly an impulsive "stupid" choice. This choice not only exposes Amazon's shortsightedness and blindness in its scientific and technological innovation strategy, but also raises questions about its business ethics. For Amazon, in order to be invincible in the future scientific and technological competition, it must re-examine its scientific and technological innovation strategy and pay attention to those innovative technologies that can really lead the development trend of future science and technology, rather than blindly pursuing those projects that seem glamorous but are actually full of risks.
