AMAZON

Amazon has stepped into the AI spotlight with its new tool - App Studio.

Amazon has been quietly building its AI behind the scenes, and they’re preparing to push the boundaries with this innovation.

What is App Studio?

App Studio allows users to create enterprise software applications simply by describing what they want - no professional developers needed.

This tool targets IT professionals, data engineers, enterprise architects and predict managers who have technical knowledge but lack coding skills.

App studio users start by entering the app’s name, calling the data sources, and describing what they want.

The AI lists the requirements and builds the app, refining details through interaction.

Once the app is complete, it goes through a mini DevOps pipeline for testing before production.

AWS handles security and governance based on the admin's input.

Here’s how it works:

  • Create enterprise apps with a simple description.

  • Ideal for IT professionals without coding skills.

  • AWS manages deployment, security, and governance.

App Studio minimises the learning curve compared to typical no-code tools.

It enables the creation of enterprise-grade apps with multiple UI pages, complex data operations and embedded business logic.

Using Amazon Bedtock models like Amazon Titan and Anthropic, App Studio promises a seamless experience.

App Studio could be a game-changer for businesses, enabling more efficient and accessible app development.

AI IN SPORT

AI is set to play a significant role in the Summer 2024 Olympic Games in Paris.

The International Olympic Committee has launched “The Olympic AI Agenda” aiming to integrate AI into sports while ensuring it enhances, rather than replaces, human performance.

IOC President Thomas Bach clarified that AI’s role is to support athletes, not replace them.

“In sport, the performance will always have to be delivered by the athlete. The 100 metres will always have to be run by an athlete – a human being," he said.

The AI Working Group, comprising AI pioneers, academics, athletes, and tech companies, developed this strategy.

A perfect harmony

They focused on areas where AI could shape the future of the Olympic Movement, including:

Cybersecurity: AI will monitor and remove hate comments from athletes' social media during the Olympics, providing a safer digital environment.

Talent Scouting: AI will help identify potential athletes from diverse backgrounds, ensuring equal opportunities.

Broadcasting Enhancements: AI-generated voice clones and expedited video editing will offer personalised recaps of events, making it easier for viewers to keep up.

What you should know:

  • AI aims to enhance, not replace, athlete performance.

  • AI will bolster cybersecurity for athletes, especially against online abuse.

  • AI will improve talent identification, promoting diversity and inclusivity in sports.

The integration of AI in the Paris 2024 Olympics promises to augment the experience for athletes and viewers alike, demonstrating the technology's potential to support and enhance human capabilities.

Personally, I’d love to see a robot run 100m.
