Amazon is in discussions to adopt the AI coding tool Cursor, driven by employee requests highlighted in internal communications. Despite the company's general caution against outside AI tools due to security concerns, the HR manager indicated optimism about integrating Cursor if security issues can be resolved. This consideration is particularly notable given Amazon's internal competition with its own AI tools like Q and Cedric. Furthermore, a dedicated Slack channel for Cursor has gained significant traction among employees, underscoring interest in the tool.
It all depends on whether we can make it work in line with our high security bar, but yes, I'm optimistic this could become a reality at Amazon.
Very cool that Amazon isn't scared to let us use it when we have multiple internal competitors.
