 Amazon is much more than just one of the many e-commerce stocks. Due to the success of its cloud arm, AWS, this makes Amazon more of tech company than anything else. While AWS has recently become the group’s bread and butter, its e-commerce empire is still a valuable part of the business. It is likely to become even more valuable as Amazon integrates AI.

One of the things that make AI work is having a huge trove of data to learn from, and Amazon has no shortage of customer data, making the group a prime candidate for leveraging the technology effectively. Amazon is working to make AI a much larger part of its value proposition to investors, and doing so is likely to land the group more firmly in the tech sector. AI will help Amazon’s e-commerce business, from improving search to anticipating future purchases. Ultimately, the real benefit of AI will be within AWS and Amazon’s ability to roll out its own AI capabilities.
