Amazon is working on 'Burnham' tech for its home robot Astro to give it ChatGPT-like features
5/12/2023
Amazon could be looking to enter the AI race as it is reportedly working on its "Burnham" tech, which would give its home robot Astro abilities similar to ChatGPT. This comes as part of the company's plan to add AI models to products that already exist.
The company is working on more tech for its Astro home robot with plans for its upgraded version to include sophisticated AI tech similar to ChatGPT. When it comes to similarities, the model will be using large language models and other advanced AI, which is what ChatGPT is built on.
Burnham is the company's AI robot project, which would add "intelligence and a conversational spoken interface" to its Astro robot. Insider obtained documents detailing that the Astro would cost $995 and that there would be an option for the Burnham Plus, which would cost $24.99 monthly.
It was also revealed that Amazon's Ring doorbell camera could be equipped with the Burnham Plus at an additional $34.99 monthly. Here's what the document said about what Amazon envisions.
"A robot with Burnham would understand — in the same way a human understands — the thousands of things that happen within a home every day without having to explicitly code for each one because that 'common-sense' knowledge is implicit in the data the language model was trained on."
In February, Cathie Wood said that Amazon workers could be surpassed by robots in 2030. This meant that during that time, there could be more robots than human employees.
In April 2022, Amazon invested $1 billion in warehouse technologies.
At the end of January, it was reported that Amazon employees were already using ChatGPT for software coding. One employee even noted that the Amazon Web Services cloud unit was trying to test AI's impact on its business.
The team doing the test said that ChatGPT does a "very good job."
