AI Guardrails are controls built around artificial intelligence systems to keep their behavior within defined safety, security, ethical, and operational boundaries. They can filter inputs and outputs, detect harmful or sensitive content, restrict unauthorized actions, enforce business rules, and require human approval for higher-risk decisions.
Guardrails are commonly used in generative AI applications, customer-service assistants, enterprise automation, and systems handling sensitive information. They can help prevent data leakage, reduce unsafe responses, and ensure AI applications follow organizational policies while still allowing useful tasks to be completed.
