Summary
Amazon CEO Andy Jassy reported that the company's AI assistant, Amazon Q, has saved $260 million and 4,500 developer-years of work by significantly cutting down the time needed for software upgrades. Specifically, upgrading an application to Java 17 now takes only a few hours instead of 50 developer days. This AI tool has also improved security and reduced infrastructure costs, despite initial challenges that included incorrect outputs due to a rushed deployment. Amazon plans to continue enhancing Amazon Q to further boost productivity.
