About the Event
AWS is the largest AI provider in the U.S. In the private sector we provide AI/ML services to companies like Facebook, NFL and Netflix. We’re seeing the largest commercial AI companies build their production systems on AWS, with a keen focus on MLOps and toolchain consolidation. AWS has also partnered with public sector entities over the last decade to bring these lessons learned to innovate new methodologies around AI governance, assurance, and scaling ML organizations to better support the organization. In
