What if AI came to profoundly change our reading habits? This is in any case Andrej's opinion Karpathy, co-founder of OpenAI's AI research group (ChatGPT) who unveiled his thinking on X (formerly Twitter). A look back at an idea that seems to be inspiring Amazon for its Kindle.

AI as a Reading Companion

The leader presents his conception of AI as an assistant during our readings:

One of my favorite applications of Large Language Models is reading books together. I want to ask questions or hear a generated discussion (NotebookLM style) while it is automatically conditioned by the surrounding content. If Amazon or someone else built a Kindle AI reader that “works”, I think it would be a huge success.

Is Amazon already working on this product ?

And indeed, as our colleagues at Business Insider spotted, a job offer posted by Amazon seems to support this idea. The tech giant says it is looking for a scientist for ” AI advancements to improve the reading experience for Kindle customers”.

The idea is to ” unlock capabilities such as analysis, enhancement, curation, moderation, translation, transformation, and generation in books based on content structure, features, intent, synthesis, and publisher details”, continues Jeff Bezos' firm.

The company is thinking big and hopes to “streamline the publishing lifecycle, improve digital reading, and empower book publishers to grow their business on Amazon with innovative AI tools and solutions”.

The company hopes that these technologies will, among other things, generate higher reader engagement, and will thereby improve the ” company's sales growth “. When asked about the subject, Amazon declined to comment on this information.

A concept with a future ?

Under Andrej Karpathy's publication, Stripe CEO Patrick Collison expressed his enthusiasm and considered this idea to be ” brilliant “. On your side, what do you think about the principle of introducing an AI assistant to e-books that would enrich the experience ? Let us know in the comments.

What to remember :

• Andrej Karpathy, co-founder of OpenAI, believes that AI features like ChatGPT should be introduced to e-readers
• The ambition is to accompany reading and ask questions to this tool to go further
• Amazon is trying to recruit scientists to work on AI products related to books
