Amazon confirms it will not hold re:MARS artificial intelligence conference this year

Recent news, Amazon confirmed that it will not hold the re:MARS artificial intelligence conference on robotics and space technology this year, and these topics will be included in the existing Amazon Web Services event lineup.

re: MARS, whose name comes from the acronym of the English words "Machine Learning, Automation, Robotics and Space," evolved from a private invitation-only event called "MARS" and was first held in 2019. The conference provides a venue for startups, academics, researchers and executives to develop technology in these areas. At the re:MARS conference, Amazon announced a number of new products, including drone delivery, warehouse robots and the company's first home robot. At last year's re:MARS conference, Amazon demonstrated the ability to clone deceased relatives using its Alexa smart assistant.

It is understood that Amazon CEO Andy Jassy has been reviewing the company’s operating costs after the company experienced the largest layoffs in its history, while cutting back on its Amazon Care telemedicine program, travel “Treasure Cart” , Glow children's video conferencing equipment and Explore virtual tour services, including a series of projects. But Amazon officially stated that the cancellation of re:MARS was not due to budgetary reasons.
