Smart Search, Safe Search: How Drupal + AI Work Together

This talk covers the challenges of implementing AI search effectively and securely, highlighting the importance of access control to prevent private content leaks. The speaker introduces Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) and explains how Drupal can serve as a mediator between users and AI, enforcing roles and permissions. Key topics include the definition of AI search and RAG, the limitations of simply embedding content in a vector database, and methods for integrating Drupal with vector databases and AI systems. Additionally, the session presents a proof of concept demonstrating what a safe AI search implementation looks like.
