AWS' AI Blueprint Emphasizes Optionality, Trust And Scalable Industry Solutions
theCUBEresearch, Saturday, April 6th, 2024
This week we spent a day in NYC reviewing AWS' AI strategy and progress with several AWS execs including Matt Wood, VP of AI at the company.
We came away with a better understanding of AWS' AI approach beyond what was laid out at re:Invent 2023. We also met separately with a senior technology leader at a large financial institution to gauge customer alignment with AWS' narrative. While stories from both camps left us with a positive impression, the survey data shows OpenAI and Microsoft continue to hold the AI momentum lead, a position the pair usurped from AWS, which historically was first to market with cloud innovations. AWS' strategy to take back the lead involves a multi-pronged approach within its three layer stack of infrastructure, AI tooling and up the stack applications.
