- 02Service Selection — Not knowing when to use Bedrock vs SageMaker vs pre-built AI services like Rekognition, Comprehend, and Textract for different use cases.
- 03Responsible AI — Underestimating the weight of responsible AI questions covering bias detection, fairness, transparency, and governance of AI systems.
- 04Foundation Models — Not understanding the differences between foundation models, fine-tuning approaches, prompt engineering, and RAG architectures.
