Amazon is prioritizing using artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance delivery speed by reducing the distance between products and customers. Speaking to CNBC on May 15, Stefano Perego, vice president of customer fulfillment and global operations services for North America and Europe at Amazon, said that artificial intelligence plays a role in various aspects of Amazon’s operations. According to Perego, the company’s efforts in this regard have been successful, with over 74% of customer orders in the United States being fulfilled from nearby distribution centers.
On April 13, Amazon announced the release of Bedrock, an artificial intelligence model that will allow Amazon Web Services users to build out generative AI from foundation models.
