Amazon Reviews AI-Linked Code Changes After Outages
Amazon held its weekly operations meeting today, focusing on recent service outages and whether code changes attributed to generative AI contributed, according to a Financial Times briefing note. The company said incidents had a "high blast radius" and involved "Gen-AI assisted changes," but Amazon disputes that AI causes more incidents, citing a prior February event it attributed to user error and providing no independent data.
