International Centre for Missing & Exploited Children Case Study

By moving to the AWS Cloud, the International Centre for Missing & Exploited Children (ICMEC) reduced the costs of maintenance and pushed its IT teams to be more creative to further their mission. ICMEC's mission is to eradicate child abduction, sexual abuse, and exploitation. ICMEC created the GMCNgine, a centralized platform that uses artificial intelligence, machine learning, and Amazon Rekognition to scour the internet for photos of children to compare against images from ongoing cases of missing children from across the globe. The results provide law enforcement and NGOs with leads on the possible whereabouts of missing children.
