AWS skills trainings on generative AI offerings are available to everyone, with all levels of experience.

Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) have been a focus for Amazon for over 25 years, and many of the capabilities customers use with Amazon are driven by ML. Amazon Web Services (AWS) recently announced several new innovations to help customers use generative AI easily within their business.

Generative AI has the potential to revolutionize the way our customers operate by increasing their efficiency, productivity, and ability to innovate. As ways of working continue to evolve, the need for cloud expertise is on the rise. The World Economic Forum's Future of Jobs Report 2023 indicates that more than 75% of organizations plan to adopt big data, cloud computing, and artificial intelligence in the next five years.

And for those of us who aren’t data scientists, how generative AI works.
