The introduction of Guardrails in AI Gateway aims to address the challenges of deploying AI safely and confidently. Developers face difficulties balancing rapid innovation with regulatory requirements, and the lack of visibility into unsafe or inappropriate content can be a significant issue. To mitigate these risks, AI Gateway has introduced safety guardrails that provide comprehensive observability and granular control over content moderation. These guardrails ensure a consistent and safe experience, regardless of the model or provider used, by intercepting and inspecting user prompts and model responses for potentially harmful content. The solution is powered by Llama Guard, Meta's open-source content moderation and safety tool, which detects harmful or unsafe content in both user inputs and AI-generated outputs. With Guardrails, developers can focus on innovation while knowing that risks are proactively mitigated, and their AI applications operate responsibly.
