At Amazon, we’ve been making huge investments in ML since 1995. It’s important to remember that many of the capabilities customers experience with Amazon are driven by machine learning. Our recommendations engine is driven by ML. The paths that optimize robotic picking routes in our fulfillment centers are driven by ML; and our supply chain, forecasting, and capacity planning are informed by ML algorithms. Our drone initiative, Prime Air, and the computer vision technology in our new retail experience, Amazon Go, are driven by deep learning.
We have thousands of engineers at Amazon committed to machine learning and deep learning, and it’s a big part of our heritage. Across every industry, motivated, technically skilled companies are starting to meaningfully use ML in their businesses too, and more are choosing AWS as the place to do it than anybody else.
