At re:MARS, Amazon’s global AI conference for machine learning, automation, robotics, and space, AWS announced the launch of Amazon CodeWhisperer, one of four innovations from AWS that make generative artificial intelligence (AI) more accessible to anyone who wants it. This AWS innovation provides the broadest and deepest global portfolio of AI and machine learning (ML) services at all three levels of the technology stack, and is supported by a large team of AWS builders and partners who are constantly thinking about making customers’ lives easier with generative AI.
As Swami Sivasubramanian, AWS vice president of databases, analytics, and machine learning, described in a blog post announcing AWS’s new generative AI tool, CodeWhisperer is an AI programming companion that “generates code suggestions in real time based on the developer’s natural language annotations and previous code in the integrated development environment (IDE), radically improving developer productivity.” In early productivity studies, CodeWhisperer helped developers complete tasks an average of 57% faster, and developers who used the tool were 27% more likely to successfully complete a task than those who did not.
In this day and age, the software industry is changing radically, people are constantly switching jobs, and connections are becoming rarer. But in the past two years, we’ve celebrated new babies, weddings, and promotions within our team – and that connection with the team is the most rewarding thing for me. It’s in these moments that all of us, from leadership to individual contributors, understand that we must all be working together toward the same goal.
You can take CodeWhisperer and combine it with what we're doing with generative AI and these large language models, and we've proven that we can actually put these services into production and make them available to engineers around the world. We can guarantee production quality, and the business impact of that is that developers around the world can be more creative with our services and build on that to create more use cases with their innovations.
Amazon Web Services (AWS) wants to help customers build artificial intelligence (AI) applications on a strong and secure foundation. Therefore, AWS released several updates. Kimberly Dickson, AWS senior worldwide security expert, said that it has updated four AWS services. The four services are Amazon GuardDuty, AWS IAM, AWS CloudTrail, and AWS Audit Manager. Amazon S3 (Simple Storage Service) cloud object storage is now supported. In addition, Amazon has also enhanced the workload and data of this service.
