Amazon has always been a strong believer in the incredible potential of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) technologies. In a recent article, they highlight how AI, especially generative AI, is already making a significant impact across multiple industries and holds the promise of revolutionizing healthcare, media, education, finance, and more.
Over the past 25 years, Amazon has made substantial investments in AI and ML, integrating these capabilities into every aspect of its business. Their ML models are benefiting millions of customers worldwide by improving supply chains, personalizing digital experiences, and making goods and services more accessible and affordable. In fact, over 100,000 customers are currently utilizing Amazon Web Services (AWS) AI and ML services in the cloud.
To further support the development of generative AI applications, Amazon has introduced four new innovations. Firstly, there’s Amazon Bedrock, which simplifies the process of building and scaling generative AI applications by providing access to foundational models from leading providers. Secondly, Amazon EC2 Inf2 instances, powered by AWS Inferentia2 chips, are now widely available, reducing the cost of running large-scale generative AI workloads. Thirdly, the introduction of new Trn1n instances, powered by AWS Trainium chips, allows faster and more cost-efficient training of generative AI models. Lastly, Amazon CodeWhisperer offers individual developers free access to real-time coding assistance using generative AI.
These recent announcements are just the beginning, as Amazon is committed to long-term thinking and shaping the future of AI technology based on customer needs. They firmly believe in the ongoing AI revolution and its potential to bring about promising, beneficial, and responsible applications.
