Amazon Web Services (AWS) [recently announced several new innovations](https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/machine-learning/announcing-new-tools-for-building-with-generative-ai-on-aws/) to help customers use generative AI easily within their business.\n\nGenerative AI has the potential to revolutionize the way our customers operate by increasing their efficiency, productivity, and ability to innovate. As ways of working continue to evolve, the need for cloud expertise is on the rise. The [World Economic Forum's Future of Jobs Report 2023](https://www.weforum.org/reports/the-future-of-jobs-report-2023) indicates that more than 75% of organisations plan to adopt big data, cloud computing, and artificial intelligence in the next five years.\n\n### New generative AI training courses for people of all roles and experience levels\n\nWe’re empowering learners, decision-makers, and AWS Partners to build their knowledge and skills with generative AI to help meet the demand for talent with the latest AI/ML technology.
