Tech giant Amazon plans to launch a new group within its consumer product division that will focus on agentic AI.
Amazon announced this new research and development group at an event on Wednesday, according to reporting from CNBC. This group will be based out of Lab126, Amazon’s hardware R&D division that is behind tech including the Amazon Echo and the Kindle.Â
The reason this agentic AI group is likely based at a hardware R&D center is that Amazon hopes this group will develop an agentic AI framework to use in the company’s robotics efforts and to give the company’s warehouse robots more skills.Â
TechCrunch reached out to Amazon for more information.
