Guardians of the AI Gateway (RAG edition) - AWS Gen AI Loft

​Agenda:

​Doors open @ 4:30pm
AI Networking @ 5-6pm
Workshop + AI demos @ 6-8pm

Howdy 🤠, I'm Pranav and I'm super excited to talk to y'all about AI, security, RAG pipelining, and all the AI fun stuff.

​About the workshop:

​Dad joke generators, Code Generation, and Automated EHR. LLMs are everywhere and need context in order to be precisely tailored to your specific application use-case. This is where Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) Pipelines come in. RAG pipelines enable your LLMs to access real-time data / proprietary information to provide accurate contextual responses.

​Sweet right? But what if an LLM app goes Skynet (terminator reference 😉) and unauthorized bad actors gain access to sensitive information? In this workshop, we will show off how to secure your RAG pipeline by adding identity and RBAC / ReBAC access control. This will be a hands-on workshop where we'll take a bank app, build a RAG chatbot that uses proprietary bank documents, and top it off with identity + access control. Let’s stop Skynet in its tracks.

***Note: If you'd like to follow along with the hands-on demos during the workshop, please bring your laptops
