Amazon Web Services (AWS) has launched a new $1 billion initiative to accelerate the deployment of artificial intelligence (AI) systems within businesses, aiming to reduce implementation time from months to days.

• AWS will embed AI specialists within companies to build and deploy AI systems for everyday operations.
• This effort focuses on delivering business results and equipping companies with the skills to manage AI technology themselves.
• The initiative, called Forward Deployed Engineering (FDE), will work with organizations across various sectors, including the NFL, which has already seen successful rapid deployments.
