New Amazon Bedrock preview feature allows foundation models to connect to company data sources

AWS has announced a new feature that will let companies connect their own data sources to foundation models (FMs), which are general AI models that are trained on a large set of data and then can be adapted further for specific uses.  

This is an extension of the company’s recent announcement for Amazon Bedrock that allowed developers to create managed agents using generative AI. Amazon Bedrock is a solution for building generative AI applications using FMs.

According to Amazon, giving these FMs access to your company’s data can help in generating “more relevant, context-specific, and accurate responses.”

The agent searches for the appropriate knowledge bases, retrieves relevant information, and adds that information back into the input prompt to add additional context. It also provides source attribution to whatever data it retrieves for transparency and to prevent hallucinations, which is when an AI model outputs something not based on or related to the input data. 

AWS says that creating these knowledge bases is relatively simple. Users specify the location of the data, select an embedding model, and provide details for the vector database. 

To show its application in the real world, the company gave an example of a tax consulting company that wants to provide its customers with a chatbot that can answer questions about filing taxes. The first step would be to create a knowledge base of tax documents, then configure a Bedrock agent to have access to that knowledge base and then integrate that agent into the chatbot.

2022: The year of hybrid work

Remote work was once considered a luxury to many, but in 2020, it became a necessity for a large portion of the workforce, as the scary and unknown COVID-19 virus sickened and even took the lives of so many people around the world.  Some workers were able to thrive in a remote setting, while others felt isolated and struggled to keep up a balance between their work and home lives. Last year saw the availability of life-saving vaccines, so companies were able to start having the conversation about what to do next. Should they keep everyone remote? Should they go back to working in the office full time? Or should they do something in between? Enter hybrid work, which offers a mix of the two. A Fall 2021 study conducted by Google revealed that over 75% of survey respondents expect hybrid work to become a standard practice within their organization within the next three years.  Thus, two years after the world abruptly shifted to widespread adoption of remote work, we are dec...
