Amazon.com is adding artificial intelligence visionary Andrew Ng to its board of directors, a move that comes amid intense AI competition among start-ups and big technology companies.
The Seattle company said Thursday that Ng, a managing director at the Palo Alto, California-based AI Fund, will replace a seat vacated by Judy McGrath, a former CEO of MTV who told Amazon she will not run for re-election.
