Amazon CEO Andy Jassy highlighted unprecedented AI adoption during the Q1 2026 earnings call, revealing AWS's AI revenue run rate has surpassed $15 billion, growing nearly 260 times faster than AWS's early revenue after launch. AWS revenue grew 28% year-over-year to $37.59 billion, driven by strong demand for custom AI chips and software like Bedrock, which saw 170% growth in customer spend. Despite a 77% increase in capital expenditure to $44.2 billion in Q1, Jassy emphasized that spending is backed by long-term customer commitments. Investors will watch if AI demand adds to or replaces traditional cloud workloads and whether competitors like Microsoft and Google can match AWS's growth trajectory.
