In their own words
Amazon Rekognition Content Moderation
Amazon Rekognition Content Moderation uses machine learning and managed APIs to automate moderation of images and videos. It detects categories including explicit or suggestive content, violence, drugs, tobacco, alcohol, hate symbols, gambling, and disturbing content. Results include labels, confidence scores, and video timestamps, which can support granular rules based on a hierarchical taxonomy. Customers can train a Custom Moderation adapter for image analysis with as few as 20 annotated images. Low-confidence predictions can be sent to Amazon Augmented AI for review by internal teams or third-party reviewers. For stored video, StartContentModeration analyzes content in an Amazon S3 bucket and publishes completion status to an Amazon SNS topic. AWS charges according to images or video duration processed, with no minimum fees or upfront commitments. The Free Tier lasts 12 months from account creation and includes 60 video-analysis minutes per month and two custom-adapter training hours monthly. Images and videos passed to the service may be stored and used to improve it unless customers opt out; stored content is encrypted at rest using AWS KMS.
