WHAT IS IT?
Amazon is offering its AI service through its cloud computing platform, targeting corporate customers who want to incorporate AI into their businesses. This is a split-off from other tech giants’ consumer-focused approaches to AI.
WHY IMPORTANT
Amazon said its initiative aims to open access to AI development by offering a secure online service that allows companies to create their applications. Amazon said its goal is “democratizing access” to AI development by providing a safe online service so companies can build their applications, which the company says can run AI software more efficiently and cheaply than competitors.
