DASF-54 — Implement AI guardrails

Intent and implementation

AI Guardrails allow users to configure and enforce data compliance at the model serving endpoint level and to reduce harmful content on any requests sent to the underlying model. Bad requests and responses are blocked, and a default message is returned to the user. You can configure and enforce data compliance at the model serving endpoint level and reduce harmful content on any requests sent to the underlying model with AI Guardrails. With AI Guardrails, you can configure the following controls on your AI system:

Safety filtering prevents your model from interacting with unsafe and harmful content, like violent crime, self-harm, and hate speech.
Personally identifiable information (PII) detection to detect any sensitive information (such as names, addresses, and credit card numbers) for users
Topic moderation to list a set of allowed topics. Given a chat request, this guardrail flags the request if its topic is not one of the permitted topics.
Keyword filtering will specify different sets of invalid keywords for both the input and the output. One potential use case for keyword filtering is so the model does not talk about competitors.

See source issues for differences.

Verification

Project adaptation: get_control returns a concrete evidence request, a proposed test, and an acceptance condition. A control description or product feature is not evidence of deployment or effectiveness.
