Amazon

Amazon is expanding its technology and infrastructure footprint across artificial intelligence, hardware, and logistics. The company recently introduced the open-source Physical AI Toolchain on AWS, which utilizes AWS services and NVIDIA tools to help builders train and deploy AI for industrial machines, autonomous mobility, and humanoid robotics. In consumer hardware, Amazon is shifting its strategy by abandoning Fire OS in favor of Android. The company unveiled three new Alexa tablets with Google Play Store access and Alexa+ AI, which launch in North America on October 14, 2026. For its logistics network, Amazon is expanding its Prime Air drone delivery evaluations to Australia and Asia, and it plans to deploy an additional 20,000 pairs of smart glasses for delivery drivers by the end of 2027 to capture photos for its AI Wellspring platform. To support its rapidly growing infrastructure, Amazon is investing over one billion dollars over five years in communities hosting its data centers. Alongside this funding commitment, the company is ending its use of nondisclosure agreements for data centers as it navigates local pushback and moratoriums.
