AWS Well-Architected Generative AI Lens: Promoting Responsible AI

Originally published at ssojet AWS has announced the availability of the new Well-Architected Generative AI Lens, which focuses on providing best practices for designing and operating generative AI workloads. The lens is aimed at business leaders, data scientists, architects, and engineers responsible for delivering robust and cost-effective solutions using generative AI. It offers cloud-agnostic best practices, implementation guidance, and links to additional resources. The Generative AI Lens addresses responsible AI, outlining considerations for customers to review and address. It emphasizes the need for ensuring veracity and robustness, achieving correct system outputs even with unexpected inputs, which is increasingly important compared to traditional machine learning solutions. The lens promotes an iterative process for the design, delivery, and operation of generative AI solutions. The lens outlines six phases of the generative AI lifecycle, which includes scoping the impact, selecting and customizing the model, integrating the model into existing applications, deploying the capability, and iterating on the improvements. Each phase demands mature approaches that support large datasets and complex infrastructure footprints. The document covers additional challenges to data architecture posed by delivering generative AI solutions. The authors highlight that the Generative AI Lens provides a consistent approach for evaluating architectures that use large language models (LLMs) to achieve business goals. It also discusses design principles for generative AI workflows, emphasizing the need for controlled autonomy. Key considerations for responsible AI practices include fairness, explainability, privacy, safety, and transparency.
