## Resource

On today’s podcast episode, we discuss three big questions surrounding Amazon right now: Can Amazon’s test of AI-generated search overviews reshape discovery? Can Amazon become the backbone of the retail supply chain? And will customers want a shopping-specific AI to help them (like Rufus or Sparky), or a generalist model (like ChatGPT or Gemini)? And more. Join Senior Director of Podcasts and host Marcus Johnson, along with Vice President of Content Suzy Davidkhanian and Analyst Marisa Jones. Listen everywhere or watch on YouTube and Spotify.
