Amazon AI project spirals out of control, costs exceed millions of dollars

According to Jinshi News, Amazon employees have discovered that due to errors in the company's deployment of AI and a lack of expenditure control measures, some projects have experienced "catastrophically high" cost overruns. A senior engineer stated at an employee meeting that attempts to shift tasks from traditional programming to using AI models have resulted in "unplanned" expenditures.

Amazon expects its capital expenditures to reach $200 billion this year, primarily invested in AI and data center infrastructure construction.
