Public entities must make sure that their digital content is accessible for people with disabilities. PDF documents can present challenging accessibility issues. In this post, we discuss an innovative, open source, and AI-driven solution to automate the remediation of these PDFs and bring them into compliance with Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 standards.

In this blog post, we explore the AI for Teaching & Learning Framework on AWS, and discuss how it is addressing the evolving needs of higher education in the digital age.

Fair Trade USA™ is a nonprofit organization that is committed to eliminating poverty by promoting sustainable development through ethical trade. They work to ensure fair compensation, safe working conditions for farmers and workers, and sustainable farming practices.

Learn how Benchmark Education Company worked closely with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to build a grading tool powered by generative artificial intelligence (AI) to help teachers dramatically reduce the time they spend grading open-ended assessments—while maintaining accuracy, privacy, and trust.

Data Review & Transfer Component (DRTC) on Amazon Web Services (AWS) provides a seamless solution to review, approve, and automate sensitive data transfer requests into and out of secure enclaves. In this post, we take you through the benefits of using DRTC to review data and other research artifacts for sensitivity prior to transfer into and out of these secure environments, in particular Trusted Research Environments (TREs).

Because more than two-thirds of service members who die by suicide have no history of mental illness or suicidal ideation, Stop Soldier Suicide (SSS) started the Black Box Project in partnership with Amazon Web Services (AWS) Professional Services. Launched as an early prototype to identify data from devices of those lost to suicide, the project is an effort to gain better insight into the warning signs of suicide in veterans to help support suicide postvention, intervention, and ultimately prevention.

Nonprofit organizations are typically frugal and responsible. They strive to improve the human condition in innumerable ways, yet they cannot raise capital like a commercial organization, so they have to make the most of the resources they have. They apply that frugal approach to IT: they build and operate only what they need to pursue their mission, and constantly innovate both to meet mission objectives and optimize cost. Even with these constraints, nonprofits aspire to solve some of the world’s biggest problems, and often, they use innovative IT architectures on Amazon Web Services (AWS) to do it.

A flexible architecture is a crucial factor in unlocking the full potential of generative artificial intelligence (AI) solutions. In this post, we cover an Amazon Web Services (AWS) Cloud infrastructure with a modular architecture that enables you to explore and take advantage of the benefits from different open source foundation models in a flexible way. This solution provides several benefits.
