Hear Sohan Maheshwar Speak

It's time for Day 2 Ops in the world of AI. Building enterprise-ready AI poses challenges around data security, scalability, and integration, especially in compliance-regulated industries, as firms work to mitigate risks around LLMs exfiltrating sensitive PII and company data. The primary mitigation strategy is to build guardrails around Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) to safeguard data while optimizing query response efficiency.

Sohan Maheshwar, Developer Advocate Lead at AuthZed, will cover why authorization is critical for RAG pipelines and the techniques for permissions-aware data retrieval — including prefiltering and post-filtering vector databases — with a practical demo implementing fine-grained authorization for RAG using Weaviate, LangChain, OpenAI, and SpiceDB.
