Collaboration will leverage new Amazon Bedrock Guardrails Automated Reasoning checks, announced today at AWS re:Invent
As part of its presence at re:Invent, PwC announced a strategic collaboration agreement with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to help drive industry innovation using the latest advancements in cloud and generative AI (GenAI) services. The collaboration will bring together PwC’s deep industry insights with AWS’ industry-leading GenAI services, including Amazon Bedrock, which offers a broad selection of foundation models and the latest enterprise-grade capabilities to build and scale GenAI applications. The effort aims to accelerate the creation of GenAI-powered applications for customers across industries, including highly regulated industries including pharmaceuticals, financial services and energy, to help transform their business.
According to the PwC US 2024 Cloud and AI Business Survey, companies that are seeing increased productivity and creating new revenue streams with GenAI are more than twice as likely to realize these benefits through industry-specific solutions. Together, PwC and AWS will build a series of industry-specific applications based on proven use cases leveraging the broad selection of proven foundation models from leading AI companies like Amazon—including Amazon Nova—a new generation of foundation models (FMs) that have state-of-the-art intelligence across a wide range of tasks, and industry-leading price performance. Amazon Bedrock also comprises the new Automated Reasoning checks, the first and only GenAI safeguard that helps prevent factual errors due to hallucinations, using logically accurate and verifiable reasoning. This gives customers confidence to more easily deploy powerful and explainable GenAI solutions that can enhance decision-making and accelerate digital transformation.
