This is my comprehensive blog presenting my perspective on building AI applications on top of Amazon Bedrock.
There are rumors that AI engineers just call some APIs and that there’s nothing much more to it.
I don’t think this is a positive view, because there’s much more to the job than just coding and making API calls.
There are countless research papers and publications that have laid the foundations we rely on today, many of them published decades ago.
Yes, most of an AI engineer’s work is building software; we use abstractions from third‑party vendors such as AWS, LangChain, and OpenAI instead of building everything from scratch.
We plan, code, experiment, and also conduct research to provide evidence to base our work on.
So, an AI engineer is roughly 5% AI (built on the contributions of AI researchers) and 95% software engineering
