AWS updated its Service Terms to clarify safety and liability provisions for AWS IoT services and to expand the definition of AI Services to include AWS IoT SiteWise Scenario Discovery. The updated terms add explicit restrictions stating that AWS IoT SiteWise Scenario Discovery is not designed for real-time vehicle control or regulatory submissions, and users may not rely on its data to determine vehicle safety or compliance. The terms also removed AWS IoT 1-Click and AWS IoT Events from the AWS IoT Services definition while adding AWS IoT SiteWise Scenario Discovery.
Developers: You cannot use this service to decide whether a vehicle is safe or compliant.
Developers: You remain fully responsible for ensuring your IoT systems are safe and properly monitored by humans.
The updated terms establish explicit restrictions on how AWS IoT SiteWise Scenario Discovery may be used. The agreement now states that this service is not designed for real-time vehicle control, transmission of operational commands to vehicles, direct vehicle system integration, or regulatory submissions. Users are prohibited from relying on data collected or curated through this service as the basis for determining vehicle safety, compliance, or fitness for deployment. AWS is not responsible for any such uses. These restrictions clarify the intended scope of the service and establish that users bear full responsibility for any safety-critical applications.
→ Review your current and planned use cases for AWS IoT services to confirm they do not fall into the prohibited categories (vehicle control, regulatory submissions, vehicle safety determinations).
→ If your product or service relies on AWS IoT SiteWise Scenario Discovery for any prohibited use case, evaluate alternative architectures or services.
