Amazon’s cloud division faced at least two outages linked to problems with its AI tools, the Financial Times reported Friday, citing unnamed sources. The issues affected Amazon Web Services (AWS), which provides cloud computing services to businesses worldwide. These outages reportedly stemmed from errors within Amazon’s AI systems. Meanwhile, the company did not immediately comment on the incident. AWS is a critical backbone for many online services, so disruptions can affect multiple sectors. However, the specific impact and duration of the outages were not disclosed. The report highlights growing reliance on AI technologies in cloud infrastructure. As cloud providers increasingly integrate AI functions, operational risks may rise. Despite this, Amazon remains one of the largest cloud service operators globally. The company’s broader performance and service availability are generally seen as robust. Further details on the root causes of the outages remain limited.
