Her interviewees included Rohit Prasad, senior vice president and head scientist for Alexa at Amazon, who talked about the concept of ‘ambient intelligence’ and how Alexa is one of the most complex applications of AI in the world, and Mike McKenzie, AWS general manager, Industrial IoT and Edge, on the increased use of IoT and ML in industry. She also spoke to Simone Severini, AWS director, Quantum Computing, and Michael Kearns, part of the Amazon Scholars program and a leading researcher in machine learning.
