Ex-Amazon enterprise AI head launches EQUS X, a personal assistant that learns your judgment
Scobleizer · x · 2026-10-30
Robert Scoble met Sandy Carter — formerly enterprise AI lead at Amazon and head of Watson at IBM, now CEO of EQUS — whose personal assistant EQUS X just entered its first beta. Key theme: these agents aren't just learning your preferences, they're learning how you think, negotiate, solve problems, and who you trust. Carter compares it to teaching kids caution about social media, except the machine now learns your judgment, not just your photos. Also mentioned: a cancer patient who fed a stack of Mayo Clinic reports into an assistant to make them usable.
