AWS Managed AI Services for Application Developers

Adding artificial intelligence to your applications no longer requires a deep background in machine learning or expensive GPU infrastructure. Cloud providers offer a suite of pre-built, fully managed AI services that allow you to integrate advanced capabilities using simple API calls. This text-only course guides you from foundational cloud AI concepts to implementing production-ready intelligence in your software. You will learn how to leverage pre-trained models for text, speech, vision, and modern generative AI workflows. What you'll learn: Understand the core concepts of managed cloud AI and how pre-trained models differ from custom machine learning pipelines; Implement computer vision capabilities to analyze images and detect objects using Rekognition; Process and analyze natural language, translate text, and perform sentiment analysis with Comprehend and Translate; Convert speech to text and text to speech using Transcribe and Polly; Explore modern generative AI integration patterns using Bedrock for foundation models and prompt engineering basics; Apply best practices for API security, cost optimization, and error handling in cloud AI integrations. You will start with key terminology and foundational definitions before moving into step-by-step written implementation guides and architectural patterns for each major AI service. This course is designed for software developers, system architects, and tech enthusiasts who are new to machine learning and want to add intelligent features to their applications without prior ML experience.
