A key highlight of Amazon Web Services Inc. Chief Executive Adam Selipsky’s re:Invent keynote Tuesday was the announcement of Amazon Q. Selipsky (pictured) set it up by looking at the uses of generative artificial intelligence and how almost everyone has experimented with it by now.
A busy week at AWS re:Invent started with a few key announcements from AWS, with contact center innovation being front and center. The contact center sector has largely stood still for the better part of four decades. While there has been an effort to move the systems from on-premises to the cloud, contact centers largely operate today as they did years years ago.
It’s been about a year since generative AI (Gen AI) burst on the scene. Many people have played with the technology and now understand its use case is creating original content or data that mimics real-world patterns. For IT vendors, the use cases go far beyond creating simple pictures or writing press releases.
Before AWS re:Invent opened today, Amazon Web Services Inc. held a Sports In Action Showcase, which included a sports panel with three AWS executives who outlined how the company is working with sports organizations.
Thanksgiving has passed in the U.S., so it’s on to the December holiday season — but before we can deck the halls and jingle some bells, an important event is coming up: AWS re:Invent 2023. This upcoming week, an estimated 60,000-plus people will descend upon Las Vegas to check out the latest and greatest from the cloud computing leader.
