"Moderating Content with Amazon Rekognition - into the Web and Metaverse"
In times when interacting with a range of internet options is routine, and new channels, products and services are released with a snap of fingers, it's crucial to think about the content you are exposed to, and you expose to others. Amazon Rekognition is a cloud-based image and video analysis service that makes it easy to add advanced computer vision capabilities to your applications using AI and machine learning. I'm overexcited to share a bit about all you can do with this powerful tool, which I had the pleasure of learning about thanks to the Futureverse.
