‘Wrong': Amazon guru's huge bot, AI claim

The man responsible for the world's largest mobile industrial robotic fleet is adamant AI and machines will not replace human common sense. This week, retail and tech giant Amazon announced its one millionth custom-designed and built robot was zipping around warehouses worldwide. Chief technologist Tye Brady announced Amazon Robotics had created a new AI model to power these product moving bots Speaking to a global media contingent in Tokyo this week, Mr Brady fielded multiple questions about the prospect of AI robotics replacing entry-level and even skilled jobs. 'Any job that requires common sense, reasoning, problem solving, thinking at a higher level … Those jobs will always be needed,' he explained. 'Those jobs will always be there. 'This idea that it's 'people versus machines' is the wrong mindset.' Amazon ranks as the fifth largest company in the world, according to Forbes' latest rankings. In Australia the company employs about 7000 people - plus contractors - across 15 business arms. But at the business behemoth's heart is logistics and warehousing, and the company's modern warehouses are powered by fleets of robots. The blue bots buzz across the warehouse floor, sliding under stacks of yellow plastic shelves, moving countless products to human workers for sorting, storing and packing. Despite just one of eight Australian warehouses running the AI robots, more than 200 million physical, consumer products are available on Amazon in Australia. With the company's global march to automation, questions persist of how many humans will work at Amazon's gigantic warehouses in the coming decades, and whether entry-level jobs will be eliminated. 'We have built the world's largest, mobile industrial robotics base,' Mr Brady said. 'They solve practical, everyday problems. These are real world, applied problems … 99 per cent is not good enough. We ship billions and billions of packages every year,' Mr Brady told media in Tokyo. A graduate of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Mr Brady learned to program computers in the 1970s. He moved around the US to be at the various hubs of computing as the technology advanced, and now leads Amazon's wholly in-house robotics division. 'I want to reframe your mindset with machines … I see a future where smart, physical AI systems help the elderly. I see systems where caretakers can use lifts to help people get out of bed. 'I see systems where people can stay at home longer. I see robotics systems that enable people, and them to be more human. Robotics that extends and amplifies human potential.' *Amazon paid for NewsWire's travel and accommodation in Japan

What Is Business Model Innovation and Why Does It Matter Today?

In an era defined by rapid technological change, shifting consumer expectations, and global competition, businesses can no longer rely solely on traditional strategies to stay ahead. One of the most powerful tools for remaining competitive in today's landscape is business model innovation. But what exactly does that mean, and why is it so critical now? Business model innovation refers to the process of redefining how a company creates, delivers, and captures value. It goes beyond simply launching a new product or service; it involves rethinking the fundamental structure of how a business operates. This could mean changing revenue models, altering supply chains, targeting new customer segments, or introducing novel ways of engaging with users. Unlike product or technological innovation, which focuses on the 'what' a company offers, business model innovation is concerned with the 'how.' It's about challenging existing assumptions, questioning legacy systems, and designing new ways of doing business that align better with market realities. Technologies like artificial intelligence, blockchain, and cloud computing are disrupting industries at an unprecedented pace. Startups and agile companies often challenge established players not by offering better products, but by delivering them through more effective business models. Uber didn't invent taxis, and Airbnb didn't invent vacation rentals — they reinvented how the market accessed them. Customers today expect convenience, personalization, and instant access. Traditional models that rely on rigid, one-size-fits-all structures no longer resonate. Subscription-based services, freemium models, and platform economies have emerged as responses to these evolving needs. With digital access removing geographical barriers, companies are no longer competing just locally — they're competing globally. To thrive, businesses must adapt quickly to different markets, cultural expectations, and regulatory environments. A flexible and innovative business model allows organizations to pivot and respond effectively. Periods of crisis, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, revealed the fragility of many traditional models. Businesses that survived — or even thrived — were those that could adapt quickly, shift to digital platforms, or explore alternative revenue streams. Netflix transitioned from DVD rentals to a subscription-based streaming platform, disrupting the entire entertainment industry. transitioned from DVD rentals to a subscription-based streaming platform, disrupting the entire entertainment industry. Amazon Web Services (AWS) evolved from an internal infrastructure tool into a cloud services giant, fundamentally changing how businesses manage data and computing. evolved from an internal infrastructure tool into a cloud services giant, fundamentally changing how businesses manage data and computing. IKEA recently started offering furniture rentals and buy-back programs, aligning its business model with sustainability trends. To implement a successful innovation strategy, businesses should focus on: Value Proposition: What new value are you offering to customers? Are you solving a problem in a new way?

Are there alternative pricing or monetization models that better align with your product or service? Key Partnerships: Who can help you expand or strengthen your model — suppliers, platforms, or even competitors? While the benefits are significant, transforming a business model comes with risks. Resistance to change, lack of internal alignment, and inadequate resources can hinder innovation efforts. That's why leadership commitment, a culture of experimentation, and continuous customer feedback are essential to navigate these challenges. Looking ahead, innovation will increasingly be driven by: Sustainability and ESG concerns: Businesses will need to innovate to meet environmental and social expectations.

These technologies will allow for more dynamic, real-time adjustments to business models. Decentralization and Web3: New forms of ownership and governance may reshape how businesses engage with users and communities. In today's fast-paced business environment, standing still is not an option. Innovation is no longer a luxury but a necessity. Companies that embrace the challenge of reinventing how they operate — through thoughtful, customer-centric business model innovation — will be the ones that lead their industries into the future.
