Amazon Web Services (AWS) is investing $1 billion to launch a new organization, AWS Forward Deployed Engineering (FDE), which will embed AI specialists directly within customer organizations to accelerate AI adoption.

• AWS is deploying thousands of AI specialists to work on-site with clients.
• The goal is to move businesses from AI experimentation to integrating AI into everyday operations, shortening deployment times from months to days.
• These AI engineers will work alongside customer teams to build and deploy "agentic" AI systems designed to perform tasks with minimal human intervention, focusing on business results.
