(I just filed this bug report but perhaps someone here can answer.)
sam build fails with the sam Hello World Example when building for Image (Docker) deployment for x86_64 architecture on Apple M1 Silicon.
Under the hood, SAM will use docker to build a docker image. For some reason it's not working on my Mac. It works just fine from an AWS x86 Linux system running . So now I'm trying to run x86 AWS Linux in docker on my mac for that docker in docker experience. I haven't gotten that working yet.
Here I create a simple SAM deployment with their Hello World example and Image deployment:

This works without problem if I repeat the same steps from an EC2 instance running x86 AWS Linux.
I found an existing issue that makes it look like it's a Docker issue and the workaround is to downgrade the version of Docker: https://github.com/aws/aws-sam-cli/issues/7598
Although it's weird that your issue was fixed just by changing SAM CLI and not Docker
