Wealth management chatbot Cleo’s users use a colloquial style to communicate with her, much as if they were talking to a friend, and it’s important that Cleo understands and responds helpfully. Their team explains how SageMaker helps.

When someone suffers a stroke, every seconds counts and could mean the difference between being ok, permanent brain damage, or even death. Despite time being of the essence for treatment, the current process for decision making can take up to three hours. Deep learning startup Viz.ai is on a mission to change that.

The AWS team went to Toronto, Canada to speak at Collision, North America’s fastest-growing technology conference. Here’s what you missed from day one.

The majority of farmers face a common set of questions. Given the inputs a farm has — water, fertilizer, crop type, soil — coupled with changing weather conditions (especially given climate change), how can they best optimize their yield? How can they farm smarter? Belaruse-based AI startup OneSoil has the answers.

Saumitra Das, CTO & Co-founder, and Ali Ahmadzadeh, Head of AI, at Blue Hexagon, share the volume and velocity challenges in the threat landscape today.

Business technology may be growing increasingly complex, but when it comes to cybersecurity, it remains a game of cat and mouse. Hackers and cyber criminals are currently creating malware at an unprecedented level to infiltrate websites around the world, disrupt business, steal company secrets, shut down sites, and take customers’ information. In 2017 alone, over 120 million new malware samples were detected. And even if your business deploys state-of-the-art signature-based detection systems and malware sandboxing, it can quickly get overwhelmed by a daily deluge of new threats. Sunnyvale, Calif-based Blue Hexagon, however, thinks it’s cracked the problem.  

Density has built a piece of enterprise hardware for corporate campuses that measures how space is used. Many believe the technology is key to optimizing how all physical space is used.

Today, there are a lot of people talking about AI without having a real grasp on how deep learning works or even what it means. So what is it, really?

If you use a voice-based personal assistant like Alexa, chances are advances in AI have already made it into their backend for companies to yield savings from processing efficiency. But sooner or later, deep learning is going to change your life.

What’s more fun than an all-night hackathon in Vegas? Why, a Vegas hackathon involving self-driving cars, of course. During AWS’s 2017 re:Invent conference, 25 teams were given kits to build an autonomous car that could learn how to drive around a track on its own.
