Dr. Vogels said that this topic was important to him because “The world is being fundamentally transformed by ML and AI, and these technologies have been a focus at Amazon for over 20 years.” He added, “Today, the potential for generative AI to further reinforce these trends and positively shape our future is remarkable. Nevertheless, as AI continues to evolve, we have a duty to design these technologies with fairness in mind and address any inherent biases. Responsibly developing and deploying ML and AI technologies is the key to unlocking innovative solutions to some of the hardest problems the world is facing.”

Mat Honan, MIT Technology Review’s Editor in Chief said, “I’m thrilled that Werner will be joining us this year. It’s fitting to have an opening to Future Compute, an event about what is next with the man who is known for what is ‘next’ in technology.” Vogels’s hotly anticipated annual predictions speak to the prospects for these technologies in 2023.
