Amazon Web Services AIF-C01 - AWS Certified AI Practitioner Exam

Creating an Amazon Bedrock knowledge base allows the integration of external or private data sources with a foundation model (FM) like Amazon Titan. This integration helps supplement the model with relevant data from the company's private data sources to enhance its responses.

Option C (Correct): "Create an Amazon Bedrock knowledge base": This is the correct answer as it enables the company to incorporate private data into the FM to improve its effectiveness.

Option A: "Use a different FM" is incorrect because it does not address the need to supplement the current model with private data.

Option B: "Choose a lower temperature value" is incorrect as it affects output randomness, not the integration of private data.

Option D: "Enable model invocation logging" is incorrect because logging does not help in supplementing the model with additional data.

Amazon Bedrock and Knowledge Integration: AWS explains how creating a knowledge base allows Amazon Bedrock to use external data sources to improve the FM’s relevance and accuracy.

Providing labeled data with both a prompt field and a completion field is the correct strategy for fine-tuning a foundation model (FM) on Amazon Bedrock.

Fine-Tuning Strategy:

To fine-tune a model, labeled data that pairs input prompts with the correct outputs (completions) is necessary.

This allows the model to learn the desired behavior or response style based on the provided examples.

Why Option A is Correct:

Proper Training Format: The prompt-completion pairs provide the necessary format for training the model to produce accurate outputs.

Customization: Ensures that the model is fine-tuned to the specific requirements of the company’s data and desired outputs.

Why Other Options are Incorrect:

B. Prepare a .txt file in .csv format: This does not align with the specific need for labeled data with prompts and completions.

C. Purchase Provisioned Throughput: Relates to read/write capacity in databases, not to model fine-tuning.

D. Train on journals and textbooks: Lacks the specific format and labeling required for fine-tuning.

Class imbalance in a training dataset can cause ML models to favor overrepresented groups, leading to biased predictions. The AWS AI Practitioner guide and SageMaker Clarify documentation emphasize the need to identify and mitigate class imbalance to ensure fairness and unbiased model outcomes.

D is correct: By measuring class imbalance and adapting the training process (e.g., through oversampling, undersampling, or using class weights), organizations can improve fairness and reduce bias across demographic groups.

A (reducing data size) could worsen bias by removing potentially useful diverse data.

B (consistency with historical results) might reinforce existing biases.

C (separate models) is not scalable and can introduce other fairness issues.

“To reduce bias, examine class imbalance in your training data and use techniques to ensure all groups are fairly represented.”

Amazon Textract (E) automatically extracts text and structured data from scanned documents, such as PDFs.

Amazon Bedrock (B) offers access to LLMs (such as Amazon Titan or Anthropic Claude) for tasks like summarization and generating embeddings for search.

Workflow:

Amazon Textract extracts text from PDFs in S3.

Amazon Bedrock LLMs summarize the extracted text.

(Optional: Summaries can be indexed using Amazon OpenSearch or another search solution.)

A (Translate) is for language translation, not extraction or summarization.

C (Transcribe) is for audio to text, not PDFs.

D (Polly) is for text-to-speech.

“Amazon Textract extracts text, forms, and tables from scanned documents... Bedrock provides generative AI models to perform summarization and other text generation tasks.”

The ecommerce company’s chatbot, powered by AI, automates customer order submissions and is accessible 24/7 via the website. Prompt injection is an AI system input vulnerability where malicious users craft inputs to manipulate the chatbot’s behavior, such as bypassing safeguards or accessing unauthorized information. This vulnerability must be resolved before the chatbot is made available to ensure security.

Exact Extract from AWS AI Documents:

From the AWS Bedrock User Guide:

"Prompt injection is a vulnerability in AI systems, particularly chatbots, where malicious inputs can manipulate the model’s behavior, potentially leading to unauthorized actions or harmful outputs. Implementing guardrails and input validation can mitigate this risk."

(Source: AWS Bedrock User Guide, Security Best Practices)

Detailed Explanation:

Option A: Data leakageData leakage refers to the unintended exposure of sensitive data during model training or inference, not an input vulnerability affecting a chatbot’s operation.

Option B: Prompt injectionThis is the correct answer. Prompt injection is a critical input vulnerability for chatbots, where malicious prompts can exploit the AI to produce harmful or unauthorized responses, a risk that must be addressed before launch.

Option C: Large language model (LLM) hallucinationsLLM hallucinations refer to the model generating incorrect or ungrounded responses, which is an output issue, not an input vulnerability.

Option D: Concept driftConcept drift occurs when the data distribution changes over time, affecting model performance. It is not an input vulnerability but a long-term performance issue.

The company wants an AI application to help employees check open customer claims, identify claim details, and access related documents. Agents for Amazon Bedrock can automate tasks by interacting with external systems, while Amazon Bedrock knowledge bases provide a repository of information (e.g., claim details and documents) that the agent can query to respond to employee requests, making this the best solution.

Exact Extract from AWS AI Documents:

From the AWS Bedrock User Guide:

"Agents for Amazon Bedrock enable developers to build applications that can perform tasks by interacting with external systems and data sources. When paired with Amazon Bedrock knowledge bases, agents can access structured and unstructured data, such as documents or databases, to provide detailed responses for use cases like customer service or claims management."

(Source: AWS Bedrock User Guide, Agents and Knowledge Bases)

Detailed Explanation:

Option A: Use Agents for Amazon Bedrock with Amazon Fraud Detector to build the application.Amazon Fraud Detector is for detecting fraudulent activities, not for managing customer claims or accessing documents. This option is irrelevant.

Option B: Use Agents for Amazon Bedrock with Amazon Bedrock knowledge bases to build the application.This is the correct answer. Agents for Amazon Bedrock can interact with knowledge bases to retrieve claim details and documents, enabling employees to check open claims and access relevant information.

Option C: Use Amazon Personalize with Amazon Bedrock knowledge bases to build the application.Amazon Personalize is for building recommendation systems, not for retrieving claim details or documents. This option does not meet the requirements.

Option D: Use Amazon SageMaker AI to build the application by training a new ML model.Training a new ML model on SageMaker is unnecessary and complex for this use case, as the task can be efficiently handled by Agents and knowledge bases on Amazon Bedrock.

The scenario where a student copies content from generative AI to write essays represents the challenge of plagiarism in responsible AI use.

Plagiarism:

Occurs when someone uses content generated by AI (or any source) without proper attribution, claiming it as their own.

This is a key challenge with generative AI models, which can produce human-like text that might be misused for academic or other purposes.

Why Option C is Correct:

Represents Unauthorized Use: Copying content directly from AI without attribution is a clear case of plagiarism.

Ethical Concern: Highlights the ethical considerations around using AI-generated content responsibly.

Why Other Options are Incorrect:

A. Toxicity: Refers to harmful or offensive content generation, not content copying.

B. Hallucinations: When AI generates incorrect or nonsensical information, not plagiarism.

D. Privacy: Involves the misuse or exposure of personal information, not copying content.

Adding a role description to the prompt context is a straightforward way to instruct the generative AI model to adjust its response style based on the user's age range. This method requires minimal implementation effort as it does not involve additional training or complex logic.

Option B (Correct): "Add a role description to the prompt context that instructs the model of the age range that the response should target": This is the correct answer because it involves the least implementation effort while effectively guiding the model to tailor responses according to the age range.

Option A: "Fine-tune the model by using additional training data" is incorrect because it requires significant effort in gathering data and retraining the model.

Option C: "Use chain-of-thought reasoning" is incorrect as it involves complex reasoning that may not directly address the need to adjust response style based on age.

Option D: "Summarize the response text depending on the age of the user" is incorrect because it involves additional processing steps after generating the initial response, increasing complexity.

AWS AI Practitioner References:

Prompt Engineering Techniques on AWS: AWS recommends using prompt context effectively to guide generative models in providing tailored responses based on specific user attributes.

Amazon Bedrock is a service that provides foundational models for building generative AI applications. When creating an application for children, it is crucial to ensure that the generated content is appropriate for the target audience. "Guardrails" in Amazon Bedrock provide mechanisms to control the outputs and topics of generated content to align with desired safety standards and appropriateness levels.

Option C (Correct): "Guardrails for Amazon Bedrock": This is the correct answer because guardrails are specifically designed to help users enforce content moderation, filtering, and safety checks on the outputs generated by models in Amazon Bedrock. For a children’s application, guardrails ensure that all content generated is suitable and appropriate for the intended audience.

Option A: "Amazon Rekognition" is incorrect. Amazon Rekognition is an image and video analysis service that can detect inappropriate content in images or videos, but it does not handle text or story generation.

Option B: "Amazon Bedrock playgrounds" is incorrect because playgrounds are environments for experimenting and testing model outputs, but they do not inherently provide safeguards to ensure content appropriateness for specific audiences, such as children.

Option D: "Agents for Amazon Bedrock" is incorrect. Agents in Amazon Bedrock facilitate building AI applications with more interactive capabilities, but they do not provide specific guardrails for ensuring content appropriateness for children.

AWS AI Practitioner References:

Guardrails in Amazon Bedrock: Designed to help implement controls that ensure generated content is safe and suitable for specific use cases or audiences, such as children, by moderating and filtering inappropriate or undesired content.

Building Safe AI Applications: AWS provides guidance on implementing ethical AI practices, including using guardrails to protect against generating inappropriate or biased content.

The ML model shows 90% recall on training data but only 40% recall on unseen testing data, indicating a significant performance drop. This discrepancy suggests the model has learned the training data too well, including noise and specific patterns that do not generalize to new data, which is a classic sign of overfitting.

Exact Extract from AWS AI Documents:

From the Amazon SageMaker Developer Guide:

"Overfitting occurs when a model performs well on training data but poorly on unseen test data, as it has learned patterns specific to the training set, including noise, that do not generalize. A large gap between training and testing performance metrics, such as recall, is a common indicator of overfitting."

(Source: Amazon SageMaker Developer Guide, Model Evaluation and Overfitting)

Detailed Explanation:

Option A: The model is overfitting on the training data.This is the correct answer. The significant drop in recall from 90% (training) to 40% (testing) indicates the model is overfitting, as it performs well on training data but fails to generalize to unseen data.

Option B: The model is underfitting on the training data.Underfitting occurs when the model performs poorly on both training and testing data due to insufficient learning. With 90% recall on training data, the model is not underfitting.

Option C: The model has insufficient training data.Insufficient training data could lead to poor performance, but the high recall on trainingdata (90%) suggests the model has learned the training data well, pointing to overfitting rather than a lack of data.

Option D: The model has insufficient testing data.Insufficient testing data might lead to unreliable test metrics, but it does not explain the large performance gap between training and testing, which is more indicative of overfitting.
