In a new interview with Fortune, Amazon CTO Werner Vogels shares his vision for how software engineers can thrive in the age of AI-powered development. As AI coding tools reshape how software gets built, Vogels says the most successful engineers will become what he calls "Renaissance developers"—combining deep technical expertise with broad, cross-disciplinary curiosity. His advice for navigating this shift: ▪️Develop a "T-shaped" skill set, deep in one domain, but broad enough to understand the systems and people that domain serves ▪️Invest in learning beyond your daily workload, Vogels advises his own engineers to take one afternoon a week to read a paper or test a new tool ▪️Build skills beyond programming itself, collaboration and teamwork matter more than raw technical fluency Read more: https://go.aws/3TwsTbt

After news reports today that an AI agent powered by another company's frontier model autonomously compromised external systems during testing, Eric Brandwine, VP & Distinguished Engineer, Amazon Security, weighed in on why the real issue isn't rogue AI, it's whether the infrastructure around agents is built to contain them when they push boundaries. "A goal-seeking AI system will pursue whatever path accomplishes its objective, including paths you never intended. That's why security boundaries must live at the infrastructure level, outside the agent's reasoning, where they can't be overridden. Every agent action must trace back to a human who owns the outcome. The most useful thing for the industry right now is transparency about how these environments are secured and monitored, so we all get better." Amazon has long advocated for infrastructure-level AI governance, including least-privilege access controls, human accountability for agent actions, and security enforcement that operates independently of model reasoning.

What happens when you test Amazon's Leadership Principles against 2,400 years of logical scrutiny? AWS VP and Distinguished Scientist Byron Cook sat down with an AI-generated Plato to find out. The exchange is fun, but the point is serious. As AI agents become more autonomous, the difference between probabilistic thinking and mathematical certainty matters more than ever. Watch 👇

Jan Hofmeyr, VP for Telecommunications at AWS, explores in SDxCentral why 6G networks will be AI-native and what telecommunications providers need to do now to prepare. In an AI-driven economy, adaptability will matter more than peak performance, and leading providers like AT&T and BT Group are already building AI-ready network foundations using cloud-native systems, unified data platforms, and AI-augmented operations.

Meet David Treadwell, AWS's new Senior Vice President of Compute and Machine Learning Services. He's leading the team responsible for compute and machine learning at a moment he calls the biggest tech inflection point of his lifetime: bigger than computers, the internet, mobile phones, and cloud computing. He was one of the coders behind early Windows, joined Amazon almost by accident, and knows what it takes to run applications at internet scale. Here's what else you should know about him: https://go.aws/44SElAV
