Atos Enhances AI Skills of 400 Engineers Through Hands-On AWS League Event

Atos partnered with AWS to conduct a three-day AI League event aimed at rapidly upskilling 400 engineers in agentic AI. Unlike conventional workshops, this event focused on practical, hands-on experience, enabling engineers to build multi-agent systems using AWS services such as Amazon Bedrock, Amazon Bedrock AgentCore, AWS Lambda, and Amazon SageMaker.

The event's format included an initial workshop, daily support calls, and a final competition where engineers developed autonomous AI agents navigating a dungeon maze. The challenge tested various AI engineering skills, including pathfinding, guardrails, memory, and model fine-tuning, with scores reflecting both performance and efficiency.

Participants ranged from experienced AWS developers to those with minimal prior knowledge of agentic AI, providing a diverse learning environment. The event demonstrated key lessons in prompt engineering, multi-agent architecture, guardrail configuration, and observability, all directly applicable to real-world AI deployment.

The practical approach led to significant skill development, with internal champions emerging and solutions incorporating advanced strategies like custom pathfinding and memory-aware agents. The top solutions showcased thoughtful engineering, and the event fostered a collaborative environment for knowledge sharing.

AWS plans to offer AI League events throughout 2026, providing a flexible format supported by AWS infrastructure and facilitation, aiming to accelerate AI skills development across enterprises.
