Please join us on Thursday the 7th of August from 5.30pm.

Topic: Watchful: Lessons from the Frontlines of AI-Powered Security
At the August AWSAKL Meetup, we'll be joined by Walter Lim, Design Lead at Watchful, an AI company working at the intersection of physical security, computer vision and large language models.

Walter will be sharing insights from his experience using AWS Rekognition and LLMs to support real-world security operations — from what went smoothly to the unexpected challenges.

If you're working with AI in physical spaces or curious about applying these technologies responsibly, this one's for you.
