What Amazon Web Services chief AI and technology officer told employees about the future of AI
At the AWS Global Meeting, Matt Wood drew a parallel between AI today and cloud’s early days—and brought a live demo to prove the future is already here.
“What we are doing today at AWS for AI is exactly what we did for cloud computing, to make this technology broadly distributed and democratized for everybody,” Wood told the audience.
Wood closed with a vision for where all of it is heading. “Our goal at AWS is to make it as easy, cheap, and fast to build these valuable economically viable AI systems as it is for anyone to build a website today,” he said. “It’s happening now, it’s happening fast, and it’s happening in all industries, but most importantly of all, it’s happening here on AWS.”
