'Amazon Web Services CFO to Axios: AI spending paying off'

 Amazon Web Services Chief Financial Officer (CFO) John Felton told Axios that the company's artificial intelligence (AI) expenditures are paying off.

Felton stressed that AI should be seen as a productivity booster more than a cost-saving tool, describing the technology as "an amazing muck reduction tool" that allows professionals to "reinvest their time into more value-added activities." He added that AWS is "seeing paybacks of under three years" on AI server spending and noted he was "surprised" by the "anti-data center movement" as he saw them as "investing in local communities" to create jobs.

Furthermore, Felton stated that AWS' capex is based on a nearly $500 billion order backlog, with customers including "large enterprises, large AI labs, but also small and medium-sized businesses."
