Amazon has formed a new group within AWS dedicated to creating AI agents, systems that help people automate parts of their lives.
AWS CEO Matt Garman believes agentic AI has the potential to be the next multi-billion business for AWS.
Swami Sivasubramanian, a longtime AWS executive, will lead the new agentic AI group.
Amazon is joining the tech industry's shift toward AI agents, as demonstrated by the upcoming capabilities in its updated version of the consumer voice assistant, Alexa+.
