Summary
Peter DeSantis said AI still needs “a couple more orders of magnitude” of improvement before it becomes truly transformative, arguing current systems are not yet at that threshold.
New architectures beyond today’s transformer models will be needed to unlock that leap, he said, including systems that can respond as quickly as humans speak.
Amazon’s cloud executive also said humans will remain central to the most complex AI innovation, framing future advances as augmentation rather than full replacement.
