Experiencing the Future at Amazon re:MARS
Summary
Though we have only begun to explore AI fields in our own work at DCKAP, it was a great learning experience and it helped to inspire our direction forward as a company. Here are a few things we discovered about Amazon and AWS: The first day of the conference was packed with many different Machine Learning workshops to get our feet wet and immerse ourselves in the experience. We attended a couple of interesting workshops – one on Alexa Skills and another on creating a contact center management system with Chatbots and Speech-to-Text (Amazon Transcribe). Dave Limp, Senior Vice President of Devices and Services at Amazon, talked about the diversity of the attendees and the desire to bring these visionaries together to innovate our lives. Colin M Angle, CEO of iRobot, demonstrated different kinds of robots and talked about the evolution of the Roomba vacuum cleaner, as well as the impressive history of the company, having been founded 29 years ago.
