How PGA TOUR automated live profanity detection with AWS using Amazon Transcribe
In this post, we share how the PGA TOUR automated their approach with an AI-powered profanity detection and filtering system built on Amazon Transcribe. The solution meant that experienced production staff could take on higher value creative and technical roles while improving detection speed and consistency.
Building audio provenance for AI-generated content at the source with AWS
In this post, we show how to build SENTINEL, an Amazon Web Services (AWS) pipeline that embeds a cryptographic provenance watermark into AI-generated audio at the point of synthesis and carries a verifiable chain of custody through a live-streaming media pipeline. This post covers the architecture, AWS service implementation, deployment approach, and engineering trade-offs we encountered while building SENTINEL.

Using Amazon S3 Vectors (preview) to semantically search using a media lake on AWS
Many media organizations face challenges in managing and discovering content across their digital libraries. Relying on manual searches of file names, or folder structures, can result in duplicated work and underutilized assets—impacting productivity and content monetization opportunities for re-using and creating content. The emergence of AI-powered semantic search introduces complexity and cost considerations for media […]
Introducing: Guidance for a media lake on AWS
Many companies struggle to manage their vast collections of digital media files stored across multiple Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) buckets. This scattered storage approach can create significant challenges for organizations. Searching for specific content can be difficult and time-consuming (with organizing files effectively becoming a complex task) making extracting the full value from […]
Improve operational processes for AWS Elemental MediaConnect using AWS CDK
Managing encrypted Amazon Web Services (AWS) Elemental MediaConnect entitlements across AWS accounts can be challenging, particularly when dealing with secret strings and upstream changes.
