Amazon CEO Comments on AI Shopping Assistants Amid Meta's Muse Access Dispute
Amazon CEO Andy Jassy downplayed the impact of AI-powered shopping assistants like Meta's Muse, stating that few consumers use external agents and that these tools have not yet improved convenience compared to shopping directly on retailer platforms. Amazon recently blocked Meta's Muse from its store, citing terms of use violations. Jassy also noted that the rise of AI assistants is not behind Amazon's slower advertising growth, emphasizing customers' preference for browsing retailer sites and apps directly.
