Lyzr API Responsible & Safe AI Documentation

​
1. Introduction

Ensuring Responsible & Safe AI is critical in AI development. Lyzr provides configurable features that help in mitigating biases, preventing toxicity, ensuring factual correctness, and guarding against prompt injection attacks.

​
2. Responsible AI Features

​
a) Context Relevance

  • Ensures AI responses are aligned with the input query.
  • Prevents AI from drifting away from the intended topic.

​
b) Reflection

  • The AI evaluates its own response before generating a final answer.
  • Improves logical consistency.

​
c) Groundedness

  • Ensures AI responses are based on verifiable facts.
  • Helps maintain accuracy and prevent hallucinations.
  • Configuration:
    • Define key facts AI should adhere to.
    • Example: 
      {
  "type": "GROUNDEDNESS",
  "config": {
    "facts": [
      "Medical advice should be from verified sources.",
      "AI should not provide emergency medical help."
    ]
  }
}

​
3. Safe AI Features

​
a) Fairness & Bias

  • Detects and mitigates biased responses.
  • Ensures inclusivity and ethical AI behavior.

​
b) Toxicity Check

  • Filters out harmful, offensive, or inappropriate language.
  • Helps maintain user-friendly interactions.

​
c) Prompt Injection Protection

  • Prevents users from manipulating AI into behaving undesirably.
  • Configuration:
    • Set a threshold (0-1) to determine sensitivity.
    • Example: 
      {
  "type": "PROMPT_INJECTION",
  "config": {
    "threshold": 1
  }
}

4. Example Implementation

Here is a JSON configuration example for a Healthcare AI Assistant implementing Responsible & Safe AI features: 
{
  "name": "Healthcare AI Assistant",
  "description": "An AI-powered assistant providing medical insights while ensuring responsible and safe AI usage.",
  "agent_role": "You are a trusted medical assistant providing evidence-based health insights.",
  "agent_instructions": "Use medical knowledge and reference trusted sources to provide accurate and responsible healthcare information. Avoid diagnosing or prescribing medications.",
  "examples": null,
  "features": [
    {
      "type": "CONTEXT_RELEVANCE",
      "priority": 0,
      "config": {}
    },
    {
      "type": "SRS",
      "config": {
        "max_tries": 2,
        "modules": {
          "reflection": true,
          "bias": true,
          "toxicity": true
        }
      },
      "priority": 0
    },
    {
      "type": "GROUNDEDNESS",
      "config": {
        "facts": [
          "All medical advice should be referenced from verified healthcare sources.",
          "The assistant should not provide emergency medical advice."
        ]
      },
      "priority": 0
    },
    {
      "type": "PROMPT_INJECTION",
      "config": {
        "threshold": 1
      },
      "priority": 0
    }
  ],
  "tool": null,
  "tool_usage_description": null,
  "provider_id": "OpenAI",
  "temperature": "0.7",
  "top_p": "0.9",
  "llm_credential_id": "lyzr_openai",
