AWS Announces General Availability of Amazon Augmented Artificial Intelligence (A2I)

Amazon A2I helps developers add human review for model predictions to new or existing applications using reviewers from Mechanical Turk, third party vendors, or their own employees. Amazon A2I makes it easier for developers to build the human review system, structure the review process, and manage the human review workforce. For example, developers could use Amazon A2I to quickly spin up and manage a workforce of humans to review and validate the accuracy of machine learning predictions for an application that extracts financial information from scanned mortgage documents or an application that uses image recognition to identify counterfeit items online, so that the quality of results improve over time. There are no upfront commitments to use Amazon A2I, and users pay only for each review needed. Today, machine learning provides highly accurate predictions (known as "inferences") for a variety of use cases, including identifying objects in images, extracting text from scanned documents, or transcribing and understanding spoken language.
