This AWS FSI Blog post outlines how Zurich Insurance in the UK, or ‘Zurich’ in the remainder of this post, is leveraging artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) with Amazon SageMaker AI to anticipate flood claims, thereby proactively protecting customers against potentially catastrophic events. Zurich Insurance Group (Zurich) is a leading insurer providing property, casualty, [...]

Volvo Cars Superset tech stack Software is replacing hardware as the primary driver of innovation and value creation. It is ushering in a new era of mobility, where vehicles can integrate seamlessly into society and be rolled out globally. For Volvo Cars, the software-defined vehicle, realized with support of Amazon EKS and AWS Graviton, holds [...]

We’re excited to announce the expansion of AWS HealthLake to the EU (Dublin) Region, marking a significant milestone in our commitment to supporting healthcare organizations across the European Union (EU). Read this post to learn more.

Bioinformatics researchers running production genomic workflows face a critical challenge: ensuring computational resources are properly allocated to maximize cost efficiency without sacrificing performance. Today, we’re excited to share significant enhancements to the AWS HealthOmics Run Analyzer tool that directly address this challenge. These capabilities deliver substantial benefits to our customers, including: The ability to analyze [...]

This post has been co-written by Nicolas Bidaux, Gaby Choucrallah, Damien Santé from CAST In today’s rapidly evolving cloud landscape, modernizing legacy .NET applications is a great opportunity for enterprises to transform their application portfolio. However, modernization presents challenges due to limited expertise and resource-intensive actions. AWS Transform for .NET, together with CAST Highlight, offers [...]

Today, we’re announcing support for on-demand rotation of symmetric encryption AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS) keys with imported key material (EXTERNAL origin). This new capability enables you to rotate the cryptographic key material of these keys without changing the key identifier (key ID or Amazon Resource Name (ARN)). Rotating keys helps you meet compliance [...]

In this post, we demonstrate how to use the Open AI Whisper foundation model (FM) Whisper Large V3 Turbo, available in Amazon Bedrock Marketplace, which offers access to over 140 models through a dedicated offering, to produce near real-time transcription. These transcriptions are then processed by Amazon Bedrock for summarization and redaction of sensitive information.

In this post, we demonstrate how to use large vision models (LVMs) for semantic video search using natural language and image queries. We introduce some use case-specific methods, such as temporal frame smoothing and clustering, to enhance the video search performance. Furthermore, we demonstrate the end-to-end functionality of this approach by using both asynchronous and real-time hosting options on Amazon SageMaker AI to perform video, image, and text processing using publicly available LVMs on the Hugging Face Model Hub. Finally, we use Amazon OpenSearch Serverless with its vector engine for low-latency semantic video search.

In this post, we discuss how an enterprise with multiple accounts can access a shared Amazon SageMaker HyperPod cluster for running their heterogenous workloads. We use SageMaker HyperPod task governance to enable this feature.
