AMD to invest $400 million in India by 2028: Here’s what we know

US chipmaker Advanced Micro Devices said on Friday it will invest around $400 million in India over the next five years and will build its largest design center in the tech hub of Bengaluru. AMD’s announcement was made by its Chief Technology Officer Mark Papermaster at an annual semiconductor conference that started Friday in Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s home state of Gujarat. Other speakers at the flagship event include Foxconn Chairman Young Liu and Micron CEO Sanjay Mehrotra. Despite being a late entrant, the Modi government has been courting investments into India’s nascent chip sector to establish its credentials as a chipmaking hub. AMD said it will open its new design centre campus in Bengaluru by end of this year and create 3,000 new engineering roles within five years. “Our India teams will continue to play a pivotal role in delivering the high-performance and adaptive solutions that support AMD customers worldwide,” Papermaster said.

Amazon is building ChatGPT-like chatbots for Alexa: How will this change your smart home experience

Generative AI is transforming the way queries are getting answered in web searches. Generative AI can create and compose answers and chat in natural languages. AI-based voice assistants are still in their rudimentary stage where they can only do a specific set of tasks and are not proactive and engaging in conversation. But this scenario for AI-based voice assistants will soon change. Amazon is planning to integrate an advanced chatbot into Alexa, as per The Verge based on Insider’s report.

Soon Amazon will be able to create imaginative stories and include real-life elements in the stories using Echo Show’s camera. However, to achieve this capability, unlike Microsoft, which relies on OpenAI’s ChatGPT-4, Amazon is developing its own large language model.

During the company’s conference call about its first-quarter earnings Amazon CEO Andy Jassy said, “We’ve had a large language model underneath it. But we’re building one that’s much larger, and much more generalized, and capable.”

Amazon’s large language model is called Alexa Teacher Model but a spokesperson of the company in a comment to GeekWire said, “We’re also building new models that are much larger and much more generalized and capable, which will take what already is the world’s best personal assistant and accelerate our path to being even more proactive and conversational.”

So, how the new upgrades in Amazon’s Alexa will change the smart speaker experience for you?

How will Amazon’s generative Generative AI-powered Alexa impact you?

Generative AI-powered Alexa will be much more capable than its current version. It would be capable of doing much more than simple tasks like playing music or setting a timer.

It will understand what you are saying and will answer you just like a normal person. New Alexa will be capable of thinking rather than fetching answers from the database.

An example from the leaked document accessed by the Insider shows if a user asks Alexa, “Alexa, find that HBO or Netflix show where rich people go on vacation to Sicily or Hawaii.” Alexa figures out the show is The White Lotus, and then the user wants to know the cast, Alexa then obliges.
