AWS Audit Supervisor extends generative AI greatest practices framework to Amazon SageMaker

Typically I hear from tech leads that they want to enhance visibility and governance over their generative synthetic intelligence purposes. How do you monitor and govern the utilization and technology of knowledge to deal with points relating to safety, resilience, privateness, and accuracy or to validate in opposition to greatest practices of accountable AI, amongst different issues? Past merely taking these into consideration throughout the implementation part, how do you keep long-term observability and perform compliance checks all through the software program’s lifecycle?

Right this moment, we’re launching an replace to the AWS Audit Supervisor generative AI greatest apply framework on AWS Audit Supervisor. This framework simplifies proof assortment and allows you to frequently audit and monitor the compliance posture of your generative AI workloads via 110 normal controls that are pre-configured to implement greatest apply necessities. Some examples embrace gaining visibility into potential personally identifiable data (PII) information that won’t have been anonymized earlier than getting used for coaching fashions, validating that multi-factor authentication (MFA) is enforced to realize entry to any datasets used, and periodically testing backup variations of custom-made fashions to make sure they’re dependable earlier than a system outage, amongst many others. These controls carry out their duties by fetching compliance checks from AWS Config and AWS Safety Hub, gathering person exercise logs from AWS CloudTrail and capturing configuration information by making utility programming interface (API) calls to related AWS companies. You may also create your individual customized controls should you want that degree of flexibility.

Beforehand, the usual controls included with v1 have been pre-configured to work with Amazon Bedrock and now, with this new model, Amazon SageMaker can be included as a knowledge supply so you could achieve tighter management and visibility of your generative AI workloads on each Amazon Bedrock and Amazon SageMaker with much less effort.

Implementing greatest practices for generative AI workloads
The usual controls included within the “AWS generative AI greatest practices framework v2” are organized beneath domains named accuracy, truthful, privateness, resilience, accountable, secure, safe and sustainable.

Controls could carry out automated or handbook checks or a mixture of each. For instance, there’s a management which covers the enforcement of periodic evaluations of a mannequin’s accuracy over time. It routinely retrieves a listing of related fashions by calling the Amazon Bedrock and SageMaker APIs, however then it requires handbook proof to be uploaded at sure occasions exhibiting {that a} evaluation has been performed for every of them.

You may also customise the framework by together with or excluding controls or customizing the pre-defined ones.

Needless to say it could take as much as 24 hours for the primary analysis to point out up.

You’ll be able to go to the evaluation particulars display screen at any time to examine the standing for any of the controls.

Conclusion
The “AWS generative AI greatest practices framework v2” is out there right this moment within the AWS Audit Supervisor framework library in all AWS Areas the place Amazon Bedrock and Amazon SageMaker can be found.

You’ll be able to test whether or not Audit Supervisor is out there in your most well-liked Area by visiting AWS Providers by Area.
