Amazon’s cloud computing unit, AWS, encountered an outage in December related to errors involving its own AI tools, according to a report by the Financial Times. The disruption was linked to a cost-management feature and lasted 13 hours, affecting a system used by customers. The issue arose when the Kiro AI coding tool, designed for autonomous actions, mistakenly ‘deleted and recreated the environment.’ This incident impacted a singular service for cost management within one of AWS’s 39 regions, clarified an Amazon spokesperson, attributing it to user error and describing it as a limited event affecting a single region in China.
