Last week was quite eventful .... 3 vendor events in town ;) Amazon Web Services (AWS) celebrated its 10th anniversary of the AWS Summit in Singapore. Though I couldn't attend the event in person (I was deployed with SAFVC), I did manage to catch the keynotes on Livestream. - AWS continues to invest heavily in Singapore, committing another $12 billion over the next 5 years on top of the $11.5 billion already invested. This shows AWS's long-term commitment to Singapore. - In 2024, AWS launched SEA-LION, Southeast Asia's first multilingual large language model (for Southeast Asian languages and cultures), in partnership with AI Singapore (AISG). - The Singapore government is partnering with AWS to develop AI talent and use cases, such as automating data analysis, to enhance productivity in areas like policymaking. - Organizations are seeing significant benefits from generative AI solutions like improved work productivity, faster innovation, and enhanced customer experiences. - One example is the Ministry of Manpower’s: Leveraging Generative AI via the Analytics.Gov platform, public officers improved their ability to obtain insights from voluminous emails and feedback in 50% less time. - Shared use cases on how Generative AI is transforming industries like pharmaceuticals, travel, and media/entertainment through applications like protein structure generation, personalized travel recommendations, and image/video creation. - Tools like #AmazonBedrock and #AWSservices are making #GenerativeAI more accessible and easier to build with for enterprises across industries. It was great hearing from Dyson and GovTech Singapore about how they use AWS cloud technology extensively and are transforming the way they operate.
