Amazon Cloud Unit Taken Down Twice By Its Own AI Tools: Report
Amazon's cloud-computing arm suffered at least two recent service interruptions linked to the use of its own artificial intelligence coding assistants, prompting some internal concerns about the company's rapid deployment of autonomous software agents inside production environments.
In mid-December, Amazon engineers allowed the company's Kiro AI coding tool to implement system changes that ultimately led to a roughly 13-hour disruption affecting one of the systems customers use to analyze the cost of AWS services, people familiar with the matter told the Financial Times.
The agentic tool - which is capable of taking autonomous actions on behalf of users - reportedly determined that the optimal remediation step was to delete and recreate a computing environment. AWS later circulated an internal postmortem examining the outage.
Employees said the December incident marked the second time in recent months that one of Amazon's in...

As Pentagon Races to Deploy AI, Operational Challenges Highlight Risks
Authored by Autumn Spredemann via The Epoch Times (emphasis ours),
Artificial intelligence (AI) is often framed as a force multiplier that can accelerate decision-making and produce valuable information. Meanwhile, AI deployment exercises have yielded mixed results, highlighting challenges such as systems stalling and unpredictable software outside controlled environments.

Some defense insiders believe that AI tools also introduce new safety and escalation risks if not developed, evaluated, and trained correctly.
Over the past year, U.S. military testing has demonstrated that some AI systems are failing in the field. In May 2025, Anduril Industries worked with the U.S. Navy on the launch of 30 AI drone boats, all of which ended up stuck idling in the water after the systems rejected their inputs.
