Radhika Rajkumar/ZDNETAmazon held its annual AWS (Amazon Web Services) Summit at the Javits Center in New York City on Wednesday. The event focused on the cloud computing giant’s latest work in generative artificial intelligence (AI), and featured partner expos, workshops, talks, and a keynote address. Across all of its announcements, AWS emphasized accelerating developer productivity and making scalable generative AI available to more organizations. It also focused on security and responsibility, spotlighting its partnership with Anthropic.
