Co-leader, Initiatives in Responsible AI

A9.com, an Amazon company, solves some of the biggest challenges in search and advertising. We focus on helping people find the things they want. Great search can seem to customers like it is reading their minds. We start the search experience by giving customers suggestions on how to formulate their queries as soon as they start typing. Once we determine which items are good matches to the customer s query, our ranking algorithms score them to present the most relevant results to the user. We index millions of documents worldwide, and deploy them on highly scalable massive fleets of servers. We reflect millions of price and inventory changes in real time, and we return relevant results in milliseconds.
