Amazon is restructuring its AI team, with veteran Rohit Prasad stepping down and Peter DeSantis taking over a new unit focused on advanced technologies, including AI models, custom silicon, and quantum computing. This move follows Amazon's efforts to enhance its AI capabilities and investments, such as a potential $10 billion investment in OpenAI. Pieter Abbeel will lead frontier model research. The changes aim to unify development across AI models, chip programs, and quantum computing.
