A fine you didn’t see coming is still a fine. Businesses right now are getting caught not because they acted in bad faith, but because the rules multiplied faster than anyone’s systems could keep up with. The EU AI Act, approved in 2024, begins phased enforcement starting in 2025, with requirements rolling out over the […]

I’m excited to announce Amazon S3 Files, a new file system that seamlessly connects any AWS compute resource with Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3).
