Today, we’re unveiling a fresh approach to the AWS DeepLens Challenge. We are bringing you four challenges to choose from–sustainability, games, health and inclusivity. Now you can be inspired to create machine learning projects with AWS DeepLens and make a difference at the same time! Use these challenges to gain machine learning experience with fun, collaborative, and inspiring projects. In addition, you’ll be making a positive impact on improving people’s lives and supporting non-profit organizations that benefit our society.

Our interference from then environment issue was a bit subtle. But there are variations that can be a bit more insidious.
