AWS CEO Matt Garman: AI "Inference" Is the New Lego Block for Innovation

AWS CEO Matt Garman believes artificial intelligence is entering a transformative phase, shifting from simple content generation to "task-accomplishing agents." Speaking at AWS re:Invent 2025, Garman described AI inference as a fundamental new "building block" of computing—comparable to storage or databases—that allows developers to create applications that don't just answer questions but actively complete work. With new tools like Amazon Bedrock AgentCore and frontier agents like Kiro, AWS aims to empower developers to build autonomous systems that handle complex workflows, driving exponential value for enterprises in 2026.
