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

The correct answer is B – Use Amazon Bedrock batch inference, which allows asynchronous generation of large-scale model outputs through APIs without requiring low-latency performance. According to AWS Bedrock documentation, batch inference is ideal for high-volume workloads that can tolerate delay, such as bulk content generation or summarization jobs. Unlike real-time inference, it processes requests in bulk, reducing cost and operational load. AWS handles the queuing, processing, and scaling automatically. Bedrock Agents (option C) are for workflow orchestration, not large-scale generation. AWS Lambda (option D) can automate tasks but is not optimized for high-volume LLM calls. Batch inference provides cost efficiency, scalability, and simplicity for delayed, asynchronous generation needs.

Moderation APIs, such as Amazon Rekognition’s Content Moderation API, can help filter and block inappropriate or unwanted images from being returned by a chatbot. These APIs are specifically designed to detect and manage undesirable content in images.

Option A (Correct): "Implement moderation APIs": This is the correct answer because moderation APIs are designed to identify and filter inappropriate content, ensuring the chatbot does not return unwanted images.

Option B: "Retrain the model with a general public dataset" is incorrect because retraining does not directly prevent inappropriate content from being returned.

Option C: "Perform model validation" is incorrect as it ensures model correctness, not content moderation.

Option D: "Automate user feedback integration" is incorrect because user feedback does not prevent inappropriate images in real-time.

The correct answer is D because Amazon OpenSearch Service supports k-Nearest Neighbor (k-NN) search and vector similarity search, which are required for semantic search tasks, such as matching natural language queries to image embeddings.

From AWS documentation:

"Amazon OpenSearch Service supports k-NN search, which allows you to run efficient similarity searches on large-scale datasets using vector embeddings generated by models. This enables applications like natural language-based image search and personalized recommendations."

In this use case, image data can be encoded into vectors using foundation models (e.g., via Amazon Bedrock or SageMaker), and OpenSearch Service can index and retrieve results based on vector similarity.

Explanation of other options:

A. Amazon Comprehend is for text-based NLP tasks and does not provide vector similarity or search functionality.

B. Amazon Personalize is for user-item recommendations and personalization, not vector-based semantic search.

C. Amazon Polly is a text-to-speech service and not related to image search or vector databases.

The correct answer is A, as the most effective way to ensure fairness in AI systems is to audit and diversify training data. AWS Responsible AI documentation stresses that bias originates primarily from unbalanced or incomplete datasets. By including samples from all demographic groups, the model learns patterns that generalize fairly across populations. AWS SageMaker Clarify supports data bias detection and offers fairness metrics like demographic parity and equal opportunity difference. Deeper models (option B) or secrecy (option C) do not mitigate bias and may worsen transparency. Static test datasets (option D) fail to capture evolving data distributions. Therefore, ongoing bias reviews and diverse datasets form the foundation of responsible generative AI for financial use cases.

Amazon Bedrock provides large language models (LLMs) that are optimized for natural language understanding and text summarization tasks, making it the best choice for creating concise summaries of user reviews. Time-series forecasting, classification, and image analysis (Rekognition) are not suitable for summarizing textual data. References: AWS Bedrock Documentation.

The F1 score is a metric used to evaluate the performance of a classification model by considering both precision and recall. Precision measures the accuracy of positive predictions (i.e., the proportion of true positive predictions among all positive predictions made by the model), while recall measures the model's ability to identify all relevant positive instances (i.e., the proportion of true positive predictions among all actual positive instances). The F1 score is the harmonic mean of precision and recall, providing a single metric that balances both concerns. This is particularly useful when dealing with imbalanced datasets or when the cost of false positives and false negatives is significant. Options B, C, and D pertain to other aspects of model performance but are not related to the F1 score.

Retraining or pre-training is costly and unnecessary for just using company policies.

Fine-tuning adapts models but is inefficient for frequently changing company documents.

Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) is the best approach — it retrieves relevant policy documents from a knowledge base and feeds them into the model context in real time, ensuring accurate and up-to-date responses.

Ongoing pre-training when fine-tuning a foundation model (FM) improves model performance over time by continuously learning from new data.

Ongoing Pre-Training:

Involves continuously training a model with new data to adapt to changing patterns, enhance generalization, and improve performance on specific tasks.

Helps the model stay updated with the latest data trends and minimize drift over time.

Why Option B is Correct:

Performance Enhancement: Continuously updating the model with new data improves its accuracy and relevance.

Adaptability: Ensures the model adapts to new data distributions or domain-specific nuances.

Why Other Options are Incorrect:

A. Decrease model complexity: Ongoing pre-training typically enhances complexity by learning new patterns, not reducing it.

C. Decreases training time requirement: Ongoing pre-training may increase the time needed for training.

D. Optimizes inference time: Does not directly affect inference time; rather, it affects model performance.

Adjusting the prompt is the correct solution to align the LLM outputs with the company's expectations for short, specific language responses.

Adjust the Prompt:

Modifying the prompt can guide the LLM to produce outputs that are shorter and tailored to the desired language.

A well-crafted prompt can provide specific instructions to the model, such as "Answer in a short sentence in Spanish."

Why Option A is Correct:

Control Over Output: Adjusting the prompt allows for direct control over the style, length, and language of the LLM outputs.

Flexibility: Prompt engineering is a flexible approach to refining the model’s behavior without modifying the model itself.

Why Other Options are Incorrect:

B. Choose an LLM of a different size: The model size does not directly impact the response length or language.

C. Increase the temperature: Increases randomness in responses but does not ensure brevity or specific language.

D. Increase the Top K value: Affects diversity in model output but does not align directly with response length or language specificity.

AWS PrivateLink enables private connectivity between VPCs and AWS services without exposing traffic to the public internet. This feature is critical for meeting regulatory compliance standards that require isolation from public internet traffic.

Option A (Correct): "AWS PrivateLink": This is the correct answer because it allows secure access to Amazon Bedrock and other AWS services from a VPC without internet access, ensuring compliance with regulatory standards.

Option B: "Amazon Macie" is incorrect because it is a security service for data classification and protection, not for managing private network traffic.

Option C: "Amazon CloudFront" is incorrect because it is a content delivery network service and does not provide private network connectivity.

Option D: "Internet gateway" is incorrect as it enables internet access, which violates the VPC's no-internet-traffic policy.

AWS PrivateLink Documentation: AWS highlights PrivateLink as a solution for connecting VPCs to AWS services privately, which is essential for organizations with strict regulatory requirements.
