Key points (reviewing AI explanation)
When you use AI, the computation is actually taking place 'somewhere in the cloud (a massive data center).' This announcement is similar to a story where 'more power companies appeared, making electricity easier to buy.' When the same AI can be used across multiple clouds, you can choose based on price and security, reducing dependence (lock-in) on any one company. 'Cloud computing,' which you learn about in information technology class, is exactly the main battleground of today's industrial competition. Reading the news from the perspective of 'who controls the pipes that AI runs through' changes how it looks.
Explanation
OpenAI announced that it will make its cutting-edge large language models and coding assistance AI 'Codex' generally available on Amazon's cloud platform, 'AWS.' Powerful AI that was previously limited to specific clouds will now be usable by a wider range of developers. Competition among cloud providers to attract AI is intensifying, expanding the range of choices for 'which AI to run on which cloud.' This move symbolizes the trend of AI becoming embedded in society as infrastructure.
