Build reliable AI systems with Automated Reasoning on Amazon Bedrock – Part 1

Enterprises in regulated industries often need mathematical certainty that every AI response complies with established policies and domain knowledge. Regulated industries can’t use traditional quality assurance methods that test only a statistical sample of AI outputs and make probabilistic assertions about compliance. When we launched Automated Reasoning checks in Amazon Bedrock Guardrails in preview at AWS re:Invent 2024, it offered a novel solution by applying formal verification techniques to systematically validate AI outputs against encoded business rules and domain knowledge. These techniques make the validation output transparent and explainable.

Automated Reasoning checks are being used in workflows across industries. Financial institutions verify AI-generated investment advice meets regulatory requirements with mathematical certainty. Healthcare organizations make sure patient guidance aligns with clinical protocols. Pharmaceutical companies confirm marketing claims are supported by FDA-approved evidence. Utility companies validate emergency response protocols during disasters, while legal departments verify AI tools capture mandatory contract ...
