Create an opt-out policy for AI services across accounts with AWS Organizations

Posted on: Jul 9, 2020

You can now use opt-out policies to opt out of storage and use of your content for continuous improvement of AI services such as Amazon CodeGuru Profiler, Amazon Comprehend, Amazon Lex, Amazon Polly, Amazon Rekognition, Amazon Textract, Amazon Transcribe, and Amazon Translate. Previously you could opt-out by contacting AWS Support. This new feature enables self-service opt-out by configuring an organization policy that enforces your chosen setting on all accounts within the organization. You can choose to opt out of data use for an individual AI service, or for all of them at once. In addition, you can query the effective policy applicable to each account to see your chosen setting.  

Refer to the documentation to create AI services opt-out policies and attach them to your organization using the AWS Organizations console or programmatically via the AWS SDK. You can also refer to the documentation for more examples on usage of the policy.
