Amazon is intensifying its focus on artificial intelligence (AI) through its cloud computing division, Amazon Web Services (AWS). This strategic move is part of a broader effort to enhance its AI capabilities and infrastructure, positioning the company as a leader in the rapidly evolving AI landscape. The company's recent deal with PagerDuty aims to power global operations through AWS, further solidifying its commitment to AI-driven solutions.
In a significant policy shift, the Trump administration has announced plans to rescind and modify regulations from the Biden era that limited the global spread of AI chips and technology. This change signals a more flexible approach to sharing advanced technology with trusted allies, such as Saudi Arabia, which is investing heavily in AI infrastructure. The administration's new stance aims to deepen tech ties with Middle Eastern partners, positioning them as hubs for emerging technology outside the United States.
Amazon's Q3 fiscal 2025 earnings and revenues exceeded estimates, driven by the strength of its AI business and the adoption of Copilot. This performance underscores the company's accelerating growth in the AI sector, further bolstering its position as a key player in the market.
