AWS may use listed AI Service Content for service improvement

The updated terms establish a new project-based service structure for AWS (new) users, effective August 17, 2026, with new rules governing team member access and content ownership. Users who enable spend limits agree that AWS may suspend their account or project access upon reaching their limit, and may permanently close the account or project if not reactivated within an unspecified timeframe. Contributed content by team members becomes the project owner's property and is subject to a nonexclusive irrevocable license granted to all project members. You can configure AI services opt-out policies through AWS Settings; project owners can manage team member permissions and access controls.

The updated terms now explicitly state that AWS IoT SiteWise Scenario Discovery is not designed for real-time vehicle control and cannot be used as the sole basis for determining vehicle safety or regulatory compliance. Organizations deploying this service must implement independent human monitoring and safety validation before using its outputs to support vehicle system decisions. The terms make clear that AWS assumes no responsibility for uses that violate these constraints.

The updated terms establish new restrictions on how AWS Capacity Reservations may be used. Specifically, customers purchasing On-Demand Capacity Reservations can no longer resell them to other parties, and AWS reserves the right to cancel the purchase or terminate running instances if the company suspects resale activity. For Capacity Blocks for ML, the grace period before instance termination increased from 30 minutes to 60 minutes for UltraServer instance types, allowing slightly more time to complete workloads. The Amazon Sidewalk qualification program was renamed and simplified, but the underlying security and operational requirements remain in effect.
