Ever heard of Project Kuiper? 🤔🛰️ It’s our low-earth orbit satellite constellation to provide broadband internet to remote areas around the world. Last week, we hit a big milestone. We’re “deorbiting” two of our prototype satellites – KuiperSat-1 and KuiperSat-2 – after they successfully completed their missions with 100% success rates. Deorbiting means the gradual process of lowering satellites out of orbit once they’ve completed their mission. This helps reduce space debris, which is part of our broader commitment to space safety and sustainability. So, what’s next? Back on Earth, our team of 2000+ is working on three big projects: 1⃣ – Scaling up our satellite manufacturing in Kirkland, Washington. 2⃣ – Installing gateway stations around the world. 3⃣ – Continuing construction on a dedicated satellite-processing facility at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, which will prepare our satellites for launch aboard rockets.

We know that sometimes an order can accidentally ship with a defect. While rare, that means one less happy customer. To solve for that, we built an #AI model for our fulfillment centers, codenamed "Project P.I." 🔍 Project P.I. uses image recognition and machine learning to scan packages for damage, defects, or issues like a wrong size or color – before the order ships. This helps us advance two of our biggest obsessions: serving our customers, and furthering our sustainability work. Fewer orders with defects means less wasted packaging and unnecessary carbon emissions get used to return the item. ♻️

Looking to finally boost your #AI skills? Research shows that professionals with strong AI skills can earn higher salaries – up to 47% higher in IT, 43% higher in sales and marketing, and 42% higher in finance. Luckily, @awscloud has you covered through two new AWS Certifications – one on #AI foundations, and one for #machinelearning. Here’s the breakdown.⬇️ 1⃣ AWS Certified AI Practitioner: This one's not just for techies. If you work in a field like marketing, sales, finance, or HR, you can increase your knowledge about AI and Gen AI concepts while learning how to sniff out opportunities to use AI tools in the workplace. 2⃣ AWS Certified Machine Learning Engineer – Associate: This one's designed for people with slightly more #ML experience. This certification is for you if you want to validate that you can build, deploy, and maintain AI models for real-time use. Whether you’re a student beginning to explore a career in AI, or a professional looking to get ahead, these new certifications can help you stay on the cutting edge.
