AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner — Question 96

A company has a social media platform in which users upload and share photos with other users. The company wants to identify and remove inappropriate photos. The company has no machine learning (ML) scientists and must build this detection capability with no ML expertise.
Which AWS service should the company use to build this capability?

Answer options

• A. Amazon SageMaker
• B. Amazon Textract
• C. Amazon Rekognition
• D. Amazon Comprehend

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Amazon Rekognition is specifically designed for image and video analysis, making it ideal for detecting inappropriate content in photos. In contrast, Amazon SageMaker is focused on building, training, and deploying machine learning models, which the company cannot leverage due to their lack of ML expertise. Amazon Textract is used for extracting text from documents, and Amazon Comprehend is for natural language processing, neither of which are suitable for photo content analysis.
