    In this workshop, dive deep into building responsible generative AI applications using Amazon Bedrock Guardrails. Develop a generative AI application from scratch, test its behavior, and discuss the potential risks and challenges associated with language models. Use guardrails to filter undesirable topics, block harmful content, avoid prompt injection attacks, and handle sensitive information such as PII. Finally, learn how to detect and avoid hallucinations in model responses that are not grounded in your data. See how you can create and apply custom tailored guardrails directly with FMs and fine-tuned FMs on Amazon Bedrock to implement responsible AI policies within your generative AI applications. You must bring your laptop to participate.

    AWS has launched automated reasoning (AR) checks in Amazon Bedrock Guardrails. In this session, learn how AR helps build transparent, responsible generative AI applications with AR Check—a new Amazon Bedrock Guardrails policy that uses sound mathematical techniques to reduce hallucinations, validate generative AI responses, and explain them in an auditable way. See how the Amazon Bedrock Guardrails policy can help users generate more accurate LLM responses on highly regulated topics, such as operational workflows, HR policies, and more. Learn about the different use cases for AR Checks and how to get started today.

    Large language models (LLMs) are improving rapidly at generating correct answers, but they are still susceptible to hallucinations. Hallucinations are responses that are factually incorrect, have unreliable information, or are inconsistent with the training data. This is one of the biggest obstacles that organizations face when they are deciding whether they can trust and deploy their generative AI application. In this workshop, learn how to detect and reduce hallucinations. Take advantage of the latest techniques and features, and learn about application architecture patterns on Amazon Bedrock that lead to improved truthfulness and veracity. You must bring your laptop to participate.
