AWS ai documentation change

File: ai/responsible-ai/nova-2-sonic/overview.md

Summary

Updated overview documentation for Amazon Nova 2 Sonic with clarifications on model interaction, expanded workflow examples, updated capabilities list (reduced voice count from 22 to 18), restructured sections with markdown formatting changes, added glossary definitions, and detailed updates to privacy and security sections including session data handling, voice cloning protections, and updated links.

Security assessment

The changes include security-related documentation updates such as: 1) Enhanced privacy details about temporary session context storage in memory and garbage collection, 2) Explicit mention of guardrails to prevent voice cloning and impersonation, 3) Clarification that customer data is encrypted and customers can use their own keys via AWS KMS. However, there is no concrete evidence these changes address a specific security vulnerability or incident; they appear to be routine documentation improvements and clarifications of existing security features.

Otherwise, the output may require refinement or may not fully meet all evaluation criteria for the specific use case. A customer's implementation must decide if a resulting conversation is effective using human judgment, whether human judgement is applied on a case-by-case basis (as happens when the Amazon Bedrock Console playground is used by itself) or is applied via the customer's choice of an acceptable score on an automated test.
+Customers invoke the Amazon Nova 2 Sonic model by providing instructions (e.g., text prompt, chat history, tools, etc.) along with a speech or text input. The model uses the instructions and input to generate a speech and text response. Together, this <instructions, input, speech or text input, and generated speech and text response> make up a single interaction turn. We say that a turn is ”effective“ if a skilled human evaluator decides that the resulting conversation is of reasonable quality in terms of 1/ accuracy of speech recognition, 2/ robustness to different acoustic conditions, 3/ expressivity in the generated speech response, 4/ efficiency in dialog handling, and 5/ the relevance, coherence, and consistency of the content of the responses.

-The "overall effectiveness" of any foundation model for a specific use case is based on the percentage of use-case specific inputs for which the model returns an effective result. Customers should define and measure effectiveness for themselves for the following reasons. First, the customer is best positioned to know which triples will best represent their use case, and should therefore be included in an evaluation dataset. Second, different speech-to-speech models may respond differently to the same prompt, requiring tuning of the prompt and/or the evaluation mechanism.

The **stakeholders** include the hotel guest, who wants to quickly cancel their reservation and receive confirmation without friction, and the hotel customer service team, who wants to automate routine cancellations to focus on more complex guest issues. The **workflow** is: 1/ the guest initiates a voice conversation with the Amazon Nova 2 Sonic-powered hotel assistant; 2/ the system prompts the guest for identification and reservation details; 3/ the guest provides the necessary information through speech; 4/ the system verifies the reservation in the hotel's database; 5/ the system informs the guest of any applicable cancellation policies or fees; 6/ the guest confirms their desire to proceed with the cancellation; 7/ the system processes the cancellation in the hotel's reservation system; and 8/ the system provides verbal confirmation and sends a follow-up email receipt. **Input prompts** contain information regarding reservation identification (confirmation number, booking dates), guest identification (name, contact information), reason for cancellation (optional), confirmation decisions (yes/no responses), and questions about cancellation policies or fees. **Output content** contains information regarding verification of reservation details, information about cancellation policies and any applicable fees, confirmation of successful cancellation, booking reference numbers and timestamps, and instructions for follow-up actions if needed.
