Safe and Reliable AI via Guardrails

Introduction

Guardrails are safety features and validation tools put into AI applications that guarantee the application adheres to particular rules and operates within predefined limitations. Guardrails provide a protective framework for LLMs, preventing unwanted outputs and aligning behaviour with the developer's expectations. Guardrails also add a key layer of control and supervision to your program, helping to design safe and responsible AI. This course will teach you how to create strong guardrails from scratch that minimize common failure scenarios of LLM component applications, such as hallucinations or mistakenly giving personally identifiable information. LLMs cannot completely prevent output fluctuation and unpredictability. 

This course will teach you about the validator, a component that is fundamental to guardrails implementation. This is a function that takes in a user prompt or an LLM response and tests to see if it follows a specified rule. If you want to create a validation that checks if the text contains any personally identifiable information, you can use a simple regex expression to look for phone numbers, emails, or other types of PII data, and if any are found, the application should throw an exception to prevent the information from being revealed to the user. You may also create complex validators that leverage machine learning models such as Transformers or other LLMs to carry out more complex analyses of the text such as staying on a topic, not using specific words etc. that is useful for avoiding trademark terms or mentions of competitive names. You can even use guardrails to remove hallucinations. 

Failure Modes in RAG Applications

It is simple to create a proof of concept, but moving it into production requires a significant amount of development effort. Reliability is the most difficult roadblock for AI applications today.

Sources of erroneous AI behaviour:

• Does the model have the necessary power to solve the question (hallucinations, graduate-level research problems)?
  Is the LLM application being used for its intended purpose (not leaking PII, nor introducing sensitive sources into the LLM context)?
  Does the program properly handle sensitive data ()?
  Will the LLM app undermine the company's reputation by failing to follow company policies (mentioning competitors in a complimentary or disparaging manner, breaching regulations)?
  

Improve RAG for better retrieval, engineer prompts for better prompts, fine-tune models for better models, and validate guardrails with AI.

What Are Guardrails?

A guardrail is a supplemental check or validation that surrounds the input or output of an LLM model. The validation assures that the behaviour of the LLM call is valid, even when the validity changes depending on the environment of the application. Validity could imply no hallucinations, no PII leaking, resistance to jailbreaking, and so on.

On the left without guardrails and on the right with guardrails

Instead of sending your prompt to your LLM and receiving a response, you send it to the input guard. Input guard contains PII, proprietary information, and jailbreak attempts. Also, after LLM produces output, we send it to the output guard, who checks for hallucinations, NSFW content, and sensitive topics.

How guardrails are implemented?

Guardrails could be as simple as a rule engine with regex rules. It can also be more sophisticated, such as small fine-tuned machine learning models that perform NER, classification, topic recognition, and so on. Some guardrails may also have secondary LLM calls for toxicity scoring, voice tone evaluation, or coherence verification.

You can minimize worst-case behaviour by explicitly confirming that your application's inviolable constraints are not broken, such as not leaking PII. You can track the occurrence of unwantedbehaviourr by tracking LLM refusals and log guardrail violations. The third phase is to create more complicated AI workflows, such as agents, that ensure each intermediate step is confined and dependable, allowing multistep applications to be enabled.

Building Your First Guardrail

Each validator in the guard is referred to as a guardrail, and it checks both input and output. A guard processes input-output before passing it to the validator. A guard might have numerous guardrails.

Guardrail server is a utility that allows you to wrap your LLM API request with the input and output guardrails discussed in the last lecture. The guardrail server can run locally or is hosted online, and you can customize it. It is also OpenAI SDK compatible. Guardrail server makes cloud deployment simple, allowing you to containerize your guardrails application and autonomously scale hardware, including GPUs.

Instructions to install guardrails server

Run the following instructions from the command line in your environment:

First, install the required dependencies:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Next, install the spacy models (required for locally running NLI topic detection)

python -m spacy download en_core_web_trf

Create a guardrails account and set up an API key.

Install the models used in this course via the GuardrailsAI hub:

• guardrails hub install hub://guardrails/provenance_llm --no-install-local-models; guardrails hub install hub://guardrails/detect_pii; guardrails hub install hub://tryolabs/restricttotopic --no-install-local-models; guardrails hub install hub://guardrails/competitor_check --no-install-local-models;

Log in to guardrails — run the code below and then enter your API key (see step 3) when prompted

guardrails configure

Create the guardrails config file, which will contain code for the hallucination detection guardrail. We've put the code in the config.py file in the lesson folder, which you can use and change to create your own guards. You may go to it via the File -> Open menu options above the notepad.

Make sure your OPENAI_API_KEY is set up as an environment variable, as well as your GUARDRAILS_API_KEY if you intend to run models remotely on the hub

Start up the server! Run the following code to set up the localhost:

guardrails start --config config.py

Checking For Hallucinations With Natural Language Inference

Hallucinations damage safety and credibility of generative AI applications

AI hallucinations indicate a lack of groundedness. Grounded AI replies imply that any assertions made by the LLM are explicitly supported by the input context rather than being manufactured or recounted during training.

Premise and hypothesis are fundamental to Natural Language Inference entailment. The premise is context that you can truly trust, and the hypothesis is a statement that may be related to the premise. The NLI model takes these as input and functions as a classifier, predicting whether a particular premise is true based on entailment, contradiction, or neutral.

Using Hallucination Guardrail in a Chatbot

We'll take our validator, create a guard over it, and test it on the chatbot to see how it prevents hallucinations from being displayed to your consumers.

Using a guardrail directly is important for testing to determine if things are operating as expected. You can also utilize it directly if you need immediate access to the guardrail's output without having to go through multiple layers of abstraction for debugging.

Wrapping your guardrail inside a guard provides various benefits, including the ability to execute several guardrails at the same LLM request concurrently, streaming support, OpenAI-compatible protected LLM endpoints and out-of-the-box logging features.

Ensuring No Personal Identifiable Information (PII) is Leaked

Handling PII is critical for AI applications, and it is especially relevant in genAI systems, which leverage external LLM models. In this episode, we will check the prompt for PII and, if it is found, block it from being passed.

PII can include direct identifiers like name, SSN, and email, as well as indirect identifiers like location, demographics, and sensitive data like health records or financial information. LLM Data Privacy hazards include third-party processing exposure, provider data retention, training data contamination, and little control over data handling.

We will use an open source project Microsoft Presidio and it is essentially a tool that helps detect and anonymise PIIs.

Preventing Competitor Mentions

Let's create a guardrail for our chatbot so that it never mentions our competitor. Because many organizations are cited by many names, utilizing a simple regex may not be effective in some circumstances, hence a NER technique is recommended.

First, we look for an exact match; if we don't find one, we proceed to name Entity Recognition, which extracts all of the named entities referenced in any given text to us. Then we check to determine if the vector embeddings of the identified entities are similar to those of our known competitors. If the similarities exceed a certain threshold, we are unable to rely on the competitors that have been identified, and we pass.
