Guardrails
Controls intended to keep an AI system’s behavior within defined limits, such as validating inputs, limiting available actions, checking outputs or requiring approval. The term is broad: a prompt instruction, a model-based filter and a server-enforced permission check offer different guarantees. A model’s agreement to follow a rule is not equivalent to enforcing it outside the model.
