How Amazon Achieved Rocketing Sales and Growth From AI
How Amazon Achieved Rocketing Sales and Growth From AI Amazon’s latest quarterly results show the results of a company increasingly betting its future on AI.
The giant is reporting strong growth across its cloud computing division whilst rolling out AI tools throughout its vast retail and logistics operations.
The company posts net sales of US$167.7bn for the second quarter of 2025, up 13% from the same period last year. But it’s the detail behind these numbers that tells the story of Amazon’s AI development.
Amazon Web Services (AWS), Amazon’s cloud division, pulled in US$30.9bn during the quarter – a 17.5% jump that helped drive operating income to US$10.2bn.
For a business that many see as the backbone of the modern internet, these figures suggest corporate customers are increasingly willing to pay for AI-powered services.
Andy Jassy, Amazon’s CEO, seems confident: “Our conviction that AI will change every customer experience is starting to play out,” he says, pointing to millions of customers now using the company’s enhanced Alexa+ service and shopping assistant tools. Source: AI magazine
