Guardrails für RAG: Ihre KI-Assistenten absichern

TL;DR

• Guardrails = Sicherheitsfilter für Eingaben UND Ausgaben des RAG
• 3 Ebenen: Filter für Eingaben, Grounding-Check, Validierung der Ausgaben
• Kritisch in Produktion: schützt Marke, Nutzer und Daten
• Tools: Guardrails AI, NeMo Guardrails, oder eigene Lösung
• Setzen Sie ein sicheres RAG ein mit Ailog

Warum Guardrails unverzichtbar sind

Ohne Guardrails kann Ihr KI-Assistent:

• Halluzinieren: falsche Informationen als wahr darstellen
• Preisgeben: sensible oder vertrauliche Daten
• Themenfremd antworten: auf Fragen ohne Zusammenhang
• Unangemessene Inhalte generieren (beleidigend, gefährlich)
• Manipuliert werden durch bösartige Prompts (Jailbreak)

1. Input Guards (Filterung der Eingaben)

Erkennung unangemessener Inhalte

Wiederholungserkennung
