AWS unveils model-agnostic PII detector using LLMs

Amazon has developed a new model-agnostic PII detection tool that leverages large language models (LLMs) to identify sensitive information within text. This tool, available as the `pii-detector` package, can be configured to detect various types of PII by simply editing prompts, eliminating the need for retraining models. It is designed to work with any LLM accessible through a uniform inference interface, including those managed on Amazon Bedrock and open-source models deployed on custom infrastructure. AI

IMPACT This tool simplifies PII detection by allowing configuration via prompts, reducing the need for model retraining and increasing flexibility across different LLM backends.

RANK_REASON The item describes a new software tool for PII detection using LLMs.

    Model-agnostic PII detection with LLMs

    A configurable, model-agnostic detector that turns any large language model on Amazon Bedrock into a PII detector. Because the entities to detect live in a prompt rather than in code, one detector adapts to new entity types without retraining, and it outperforms an off-the-shelf …
