Guarding the Generative Path: Architecting Responsible AI with Amazon Bedrock Guardrails

Room: Zaal 8 | Time: 11:00 | Duration: 30

Generative AI can accelerate innovation, but only when every response respects safety, privacy and trust. In this session, we step inside Amazon Bedrock Guardrails and see how purpose-built safeguards turn risky prompts, hallucinations and policy violations into confident, production-ready answers. Let’s explore how versioned “guardrails-as-code” enables a single CloudFormation push to raise the safety bar without touching app logic, with real-time metrics and audit logs streaming straight into CloudWatch to spotlight every blocked prompt the moment it happens.

HTTP and MCP: Serverless LLM's access to API infrastructure. A modern solution.

Room: Zaal 8 | Time: 15:00 | Duration: 60

With Anthropic’s release of MCP last year, many initially viewed it as just another LLM product. However, the March protocol update introduced HTTP connection methods, opening up exciting new possibilities for secure enterprise architecture. This enhancement enables MCP to support enterprise security standards—including Machine-to-Machine OAuth, OIDC, isolated architecture, and separation of duties—that the initial design couldn’t accommodate. Discover how you can build your own MCP server, integrate your existing APIs with MCP in a secure and cost-effective design, 100% serverless.

Building Cloud-Native AI Agents with Strands: The Open Source SDK from AWS

Room: Zaal 8 | Time: 16:00 | Duration: 30

AI agents are becoming essential for automating complex workflows and enhancing user experiences but building them in a way that’s secure, composable, and production-ready can be challenging. Strands Agents, a new open source SDK from AWS, offers a modular framework for developing AI agents that are stateless, auditable, and cloud-native by design. This session will introduce you to the core concepts behind Strands, including its plugin-based architecture for tools, memory, workflows, and more.
