Amazon's AI assistant saves , 4500 years of development time, CEO Andy Jassy says
Amazon CEO Andy Jassy revealed in a LinkedIn post [linkedin.com] on August 22 that the company was able to integrate Amazon Q, its generative AI assistant, into its internal systems to update its foundational software.
The result has been a "game changer," Jassy said.
"The average time to upgrade an application to Java 17 plummeted from what's typically 50 developer-days to just a few hours," he wrote. "We estimate this has saved us the equivalent of 4500 developer-years of work (yes, that number is crazy but, real)."
The AI is not only fast but seems pretty accurate, too, according to his post. Amazon developers shipped 79% of the AI-generated code reviews without any additional changes, Jassy wrote.
