New project will accelerate innovation in generative AI in support of government, non-profit, education,
healthcare and aerospace
Amazon Web Services (AWS) recently announced the launch of the AWS Public Sector Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) Impact Initiative. The two-year, $50 million investment is designed to help public sector organizations — and those that directly support their technology needs — accelerate innovation in support of critical missions using AWS generative AI services and infrastructure, such as Amazon Bedrock, Amazon Q, Amazon SageMaker, AWS HealthScribe, AWS Trainium, and AWS Inferentia.
As part of this initiative, AWS has committed to allocating up to $50 million in promotional credits, training, and technical expertise toward generative AI projects. Credit issuance determinations will be based on a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, the customer's experience developing new technology solutions, the maturity of the project idea, evidence of future adoption of the solution, and the breadth of AI skills customer generative. A Impact Initiative is open to new and existing AWS Public Sector customers and partners around the world who are creating generative AI solutions to help solve society's most pressing challenges.
Leaders of organizations across the public sector are looking for ways to use generative AI to become more efficient and agile, optimizing resources, adapting to new needs, improving patient care, personalizing the educational experience and strengthening security are among the various obstacles. To respond to these challenges, AWS is committed to helping public sector organizations unlock the potential of generative AI and other cloud-based technologies to positively impact society.
This global initiative will be open from June 26, 2024 to June 30, 2026, and will include the following benefits and features:
• Customized training: Check out the latest training to help you meet your go-to-market goals and business needs.
• Generative AI Innovation Center Experience: Securely ideate, identify, and implement generative AI solutions with guidance from the Generative AI Innovation Center.
• Technical support: Learn from AWS technical experts and tutorials how to optimize your generative AI application with the Well-Architected Framework.
• Free networking and sessions for developers: Access to registration for free AWS Summit events around the world.
• Global thought leadership opportunities: Showcase your Generative AI Impact Initiative success stories with AWS marketing efforts.
The AWS Public Sector Generative AI Impact Initiative is based on our ongoing commitment to the safe and responsible development of AI technology. For example, AWS is a contributing partner for National Artificial Intelligence Research Resource (NAIRR), from the National Science Foundation, which provides U.S. researchers and educators access to advanced computing, datasets, models, software, training, and user support for AI research. Additionally, Amazon is a member of the US Artificial Intelligence Security Institute Consortium, established by the National Institute of Standards and Technology, and is contributing $5 million to enable the development of tools and methodologies that organizations can use to assess the security of their foundation models. AWS is also committed to supporting initiatives like the Accelerator program AI for Changemakers, led by Tech To The Rescue, which includes the program Now Go Build CTO Fellowship, from AWS Chief Technology Officer Werner Vogels.
