AI adoption is accelerating rapidly, with Amazon reporting that a UK business is adopting AI every 60 seconds. This surge in adoption is highlighted in a recent AWS report, which indicates a 33% increase in the past year, bringing the total of UK businesses utilizing AI to 52%. Startups appear to be leading the charge, with 59% adoption rate, and are also more likely to have comprehensive AI strategies in place compared to larger enterprises, 31% versus 15% respectively. Benefit realization is also on the rise, with 92% of AI-adopting businesses reporting an increase in revenue, a substantial jump from 64% in 2024.
Amazon is also introducing new tools to assist developers in building and scaling AI solutions. Amazon Q Developer is now available in preview on GitHub, enabling developers to assign tasks to an AI agent directly within GitHub issues. This agent can develop features, conduct code reviews, enhance security, and migrate Java code. The tool aims to accelerate code generation and streamline the development process, allowing developers to quickly implement AI-driven functionalities within their projects. Installation is simple, and developers can begin using the application without connecting to an AWS account.
Adding to its suite of AI offerings, Amazon has launched Nova Premier, its most capable foundation model, now generally available on Amazon Bedrock. Nova Premier is designed to handle complex workflows requiring multiple tools and data sources. It boasts a one-million token context window, enabling it to process lengthy documents and large codebases. One notable feature of Nova Premier is its model distillation capabilities, allowing users to transfer its advanced features to smaller, faster models for production deployment. Amazon is investing in AI training, with a UK initiative to train 100,000 people in AI skills by the end of the decade, collaborating with universities such as Exeter and Manchester.
