In the wake of the meteoric rise of generative AI, it’s easy to get swept up in the hype and believe that this single branch of artificial intelligence (AI) is the whole story. Platforms like ChatGPT have undeniably captured the public imagination, marking the first mass consumerisation of AI technology. However, focusing solely on generative AI risks overshadowing the diverse and equally transformative types of AI that have been quietly but powerfully driving business innovation.

Earlier this week, I got the opportunity to speak at our Amazon Web Services (AWS) office in London, to an audience of Private Equity firms and their portfolio company executives about driving value creation through AI and data.

I also took the opportunity to introduce a new concept called the AI Stages of Adoption (AISA), which is designed to help organisations assess their maturity and readiness for AI adoption.

Custom Model Import’s = game changing! If you own your own corpus of data and are using it to train your own models, you can now bring those models to Amazon Bedrock’s secure, managed environment.
Just as we were catching our breath on Claude 3 Opus arriving on Amazon Bedrock, here we go again, this time it’s Meta’s Llama 3 model - designed for you to build, experiment, and responsibly scale your generative artificial intelligence (AI) applications; now with improvements in reasoning, code generation, and instruction.
This just in! Anthropic’s Claude 3 Opus foundation model is now available on Amazon Bedrock, joining Claude Sonnet and Claude Haiku. Bedrock is now the first and only place to offer all three Claude 3 models in general availability.

The Amazon Web Services (AWS) executive’s guide to generative AI is out now; I spoke to Duncan Jefferies about how businesses can use generative AI to drive organisational transformation.
Given Adam’s announcement yesterday about Amazon PartyRock powered by Amazon Bedrock, I decided I couldn’t wait to get my hands on it and see what kind of app I could build.
Interesting read (pay-walled) in the FT on what’s driving valuations in the generative AI space. The key to the adoption of any technology is finding the right investment case and quickly demonstrating proof of value. Generative AI is no different.
