Working with Amazon Web Services (AWS) and AWS Partner Allwyn, the city of Virginia Beach launched a generative artificial intelligence (AI)-powered conversational search assistant on its public website that helps residents and visitors find answers in plain language, without having to hunt through search results.

Old Dominion University (ODU), in collaboration with Iowa State University, the longtime home of GAMESS development, and with support from Amazon Web Services (AWS), built CPU- and GPU-optimized GAMESS containers and began deploying them on AWS High-Performance Computing (HPC) services. Their work offers a practical roadmap for other institutions looking to bring legacy HPC applications into a modern, cloud-native environment.

Social services agencies serve some of society’s most vulnerable members. Service interruptions don’t just create inconvenience—they can delay essential support. The South Carolina Department of Social Services (SCDSS) faced exactly this challenge. Working with Amazon Web Services (AWS), SCDSS modernized 19 contact centers and two interactive voice response (IVR) systems, transforming how the agency connects with the one in six South Carolinians it serves.

Healthcare organizations face pressure to innovate rapidly while managing rising costs, addressing workforce shortages, and navigating complex regulatory requirements. At the same time, they must modernize legacy systems, improve patient outcomes, and enhance operational efficiency—all while maintaining the highest standards of security and compliance. The traditional procurement process for healthcare technology has been a significant barrier to innovation. Lengthy contract negotiations, complex legal reviews, and siloed purchasing decisions can delay critical technology deployments by months or years. In an industry where timing can directly impact patient outcomes, this friction impedes necessary progress. AWS Marketplace is helping change this reality.

As it supports government authorities with their digital identity programs, Thales recognized that Amazon Web Services (AWS) managed services can help address these challenges. The company built a production-grade verifiable credentials issuance platform on AWS that serves government customers worldwide, supporting over 300 national digital identity programs.

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.

Every year, an estimated 3 million Americans receive home healthcare services. These programs often improve health outcomes, but they also carry risks. Patients may fall, miss medications, or face complications that lead to hospitalization. Researchers at Columbia University’s School of Nursing are exploring how artificial intelligence (AI) could help predict and prevent such events.
