  "account": "Amazon's cloud business, AWS, saw a 39% year-over-year increase in revenue to $46 billion in the last quarter, with operating income rising 55% to $17.8 billion. The company plans to use AWS to capitalize on the current AI boom. Amazon forecast capital investments of $220 billion for this year, primarily for data center expansion. The company's holiday quarter sales forecast fell short of market expectations, causing the stock to drop over 6% in after-hours trading. Amazon's overall revenue rose 12% to $201.9 billion, but net income fell 2% to $20.7 billion.",
  "summary": "Amazon is not only the world's largest online retailer, but also a leading player in cloud services. In the AI boom, this is driving growth - but it is also bringing high costs for new data centers.",
