Bellan frequently delves into the fascinating and volatile relationship that American companies have with their consumers. She’s particularly interested in new and thrilling advancements coming from artificial intelligence. Earlier this year, Amazon won some headlines when the company sent legal threats to badagentic browsing. The firm argues that third-party apps shouldn’t be able to hide the ball when it comes to helping customers make their purchases. They similarly highlight the need to honor service providers’ decisions regarding their participation.
“It is how others operate, including food delivery apps and the restaurants they take orders for, delivery service apps and the stores they shop from, and online travel agencies and the airlines they book tickets with for customers.” – Amazon
Further, Amazon announced its opposition to certain practices of non-Amazon sellers in the marketplace. The company stated, “We think it’s fairly straightforward that third-party applications that offer to make purchases on behalf of customers from other businesses should operate openly and respect service provider decisions whether or not to participate.”
Bellan’s work demonstrates a profound awareness of these multilayered issues, which are only growing in complexity as technology advances. Her storytelling and analysis seeks to help readers understand what these dramatic changes mean for the AI landscape.
