Amazon AWS Leaps Forward In Cloudy AI At re:Invent

Amazon Web Services hosted its annual conference last week. Over 50,000 attendees converged on Las Vegas to partake in the massive 4-day agenda of all things cloudy. In the realm of Artificial Intelligence (AI), AWS announced over a dozen completely new services for building and running smart applications, adding significantly to what was already a rich portfolio. "We want to help all of our customers embrace machine learning, no matter their size, budget, experience, or skill level," said Swami Sivasubramanian, Vice President of Amazon Machine Learning. AWS hopes to extend its lead in hosting the market for enterprises and AI startups.
