Why Amazon Bedrock?
Amazon Bedrock offers significant advantages for European universities seeking to leverage AI while maintaining strict GDPR compliance. While providers like OpenAI may offer EU data storage options, Bedrock provides a fundamentally different architecture where all data remains within the university's own AWS account and is never transmitted to foundation model providers such as Anthropic, Cohere, or others. This means that sensitive student and research data never leaves the institution's controlled environment, providing an additional layer of data sovereignty that goes beyond geographic storage requirements. Bedrock's enterprise-grade infrastructure offers granular control over data handling, built-in privacy safeguards, comprehensive audit trails, and the ability to implement data retention policies that align with GDPR's "right to be forgotten" requirements. For educational institutions handling sensitive personal data, this contained approach significantly simplifies GDPR compliance by eliminating third-party data sharing concerns entirely, while still providing access to state-of-the-art foundation models through AWS's secure, scalable infrastructure that universities can fully control and audit.
Installation
To install this AI provider you can download the ZIP file and install from Administration > Site administration > Plugins > Install plugins, or you can unzip it in the ai/provider folder. This provider requires Moodle LMS 4.5, the first version to include the AI subsystem.
You must provide an AWS Access Key and Secret Access Key for an AWS user with the proper permissions to use Amazon Bedrock in your AWS account. Please remind to enable the models from Bedrock configurations > Model access in the selected region.
