Justice and Public Safety organizations require access to the latest foundation models (FMs) available through Amazon Bedrock for mission-critical AI implementations. This post aids with your evaluation of important CJIS compliance considerations that JPS organizations must address when implementing these architectures.

At the 2025 Amazon Web Services (AWS) Federal AI Conference in Virginia, Paras Malik, the Chief AI Officer at the U.S. Department of the Treasury, joined AWS Global Head of Financial Innovation Michael Greenwald to share how Treasury is taking a human-centered approach to the use of AI tools. Their conversation highlighted lessons other agencies can apply as they explore promoting AI leadership at scale.

Organizations operating in AWS GovCloud (US) might require alternative architectural approaches, depending on service availability in their target Region. This post presents an architecture that’s deployable on AWS GovCloud (US) for secure generative AI experimentation using Amazon SageMaker AI, AWS Lake Formation, and Amazon Bedrock.

Teams from AWS, working with Sentient Industries, brought the power of AI directly into Excel spreadsheets. Logistics officers can now type the device description in Excel and have the power specs retrieved from a knowledge base in Amazon Bedrock. Unlike a chat-based solution, the AI directly loads the data into spreadsheet cells, creating a streamlined and efficient user workflow. The AI meets the users where they are, and this capability is now being commercialized by Sentient. Read this post to learn more.

Read this post to learn how the City of Virginia Beach worked with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to modernize its Emergency Communications and Citizen Services (ECCS) using Amazon Connect, introducing AI capabilities that help serve citizens faster and reduce dispatcher workloads.

It’s a challenge to modernize vast public datasets to meet new and evolving uses. Epimorphics, an AWS Partner, supports government agencies to deliver big data projects efficiently. Government data underpins many important public policy decisions and private sector investments. For example, house price indices influence mortgage lending, and river flow measurements guide flood planning. The data for this vital work must be authoritative, accessible, and available digitally.

This week, the Department of Energy recognized AWS as a supporter of the Genesis Mission, highlighting our work with Idaho National Laboratory (INL) on civil nuclear innovation. AWS had the privilege of joining US Secretary of Energy Chris Wright and national laboratory directors at a roundtable discussion at the White House’s Eisenhower Executive Office Building to discuss this transformational initiative. It’s a recognition of a collaboration already underway—and a validation of the infrastructure and approach America needs to win the race for AI-powered scientific leadership.

In this post, we explore how the combination of a modern AWS Cloud architecture, streaming media, and AI technologies are evolving the Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) landscape, establishing a new era of enhanced mission system capabilities.

This post examines real-world examples of successful national AI programs, explores the hidden economics that make AWS Cloud infrastructure essential, and discusses why cultural sovereignty matters as much as technical capability. Whether you’re planning a national AI strategy or evaluating infrastructure options, these lessons from global leaders will help you avoid common pitfalls and focus resources where they matter most.
