Amazon Web Services joined the agentic AI frenzy in a big way this week, revealing at a New York City event Wednesday a host of services and tools dubbed Agentcore that let technologists build and deploy so-called AI agents capable of automating internal tasks while potentially overhauling the way consumers interact with online businesses too.

Physical AI and Embodied AI, which allow bots to understand and navigate the real world—are powering the robot revolution.

Amazon has just started selling AI agents on its marketplace to anyone who can afford it. Here’s what this means for crypto investors.

Amazon’s decarbonization goals are being undermined by its push to be a leader in generative AI. Its most recent sustainability report concedes its overall carbon emissions grew for the first time since 2022.

Nvidia ( NVDA -0.42%) stock has returned 29% this year, and its market value currently stands at $4.2 trillion. Meanwhile, Palantir ( PLTR -0.34%) shares have advanced 104%, and its market value currently stands at $360 billion. That brings their collective valuation to $4.5 trillion.

After two years of modest declines, Amazon reported today that its carbon footprint grew by 6% last year. The global cloud and online retail giant hit 68.25 million metric tons of carbon emissions — for comparison, that’s about two-thirds of the annual amount emitted by entire state of Washington.

Ring founder Jamie Siminoff is back at Amazon and making big changes. His latest move injects AI evaluation into how employees apply for promotions.

"We've seen hype cycles before, but this one is a little different," Mark Ryland, director of security at Amazon, told CIO Dive.

Baird analyst Colin Sebastian joins the GeekWire Podcast to discuss Amazon, Google, and Meta’s AI strategies, tech investing trends, and how today’s AI boom compares to the dot-com era.

Increased AI use has ended the company’s downward trend of emissions—and employees say the official numbers aren't telling the whole story.
