Amazon CEO Andy Jassy sat down with Fortune CEO Alan Murray at the World Economic Forum in Davos on January 18, 2024. He answered questions related to how his leadership differs from Jeff Bezos, and the future he’s imagining for Prime Video, AI, and health care.

When asked about the biggest challenges and opportunities businesses face in the new year, Jassy explained that he believes that generative AI, and how to implement it, will be the at the top of every company’s agenda. He also digs into some of the technologies Amazon is developing around large language models, including their Trainium and Inferentia chips.

Jassy gave an update on Alexa, saying that generative AI will help Alexa become the “world’s best personal assistant.”

When asked about how his leadership style is different from his predecessor, Jeff Bezos, Jassy explained that different world circumstances call for different styles in leadership, but that the core leadership principles the founder established over the years are still very much present in the company.

Another topic of discussion was how to ensure that sustainability is kept in focus when developing powerful AI models that require large amounts of computing power.

When asked what “the next big thing at Amazon” will be, Jassy spoke in detail about the company’s efforts to democratize broadband internet with its Project Kuiper satellites, and how he hopes the tech giant can revolutionize health care with One Medical.

And finally, when asked about the antitrust case facing the company, Jassy showed confidence that the law will be on their side, but also expressed concern about innovation in western countries being at risk due to over-regulation.
