Question

A media company runs a Bedrock-powered application that lets users submit both text prompts and uploaded images to a multimodal foundation model. Compliance requires blocking hateful, violent, and sexual imagery in BOTH the images users upload AND any images the model might generate, while continuing to filter toxic text. The team already uses a Bedrock Guardrail for text content filters but is unsure how to extend protection to visual content. What is the most appropriate way to meet this requirement?

Accepted Answer

Enable image content filters on the existing Guardrail policy so the content filter categories are applied to image input and output in addition to text.

Answer

Deploy a separate Amazon Rekognition content moderation pipeline in front of Bedrock and remove the Guardrail, since Guardrails only support text.

Answer

Add the harmful visual concepts as denied topics in the Guardrail, because denied topics evaluate both textual and image modalities.

Answer

Enable the Guardrail contextual grounding check, which inspects image pixels for policy-violating visual content.
