## AI overview

This post presents SENTINEL, an AWS pipeline for embedding cryptographic provenance watermarks into AI-generated audio at synthesis and maintaining a verifiable chain of custody through a live-streaming media pipeline. It describes the architecture, AWS service implementation, deployment approach, and engineering trade-offs, including the use of AudioSeal, Amazon Bedrock Guardrails, and C2PA 2.0.

## Source excerpt

In this post, we show how to build SENTINEL, an Amazon Web Services (AWS) pipeline that embeds a cryptographic provenance watermark into AI-generated audio at the point of synthesis and carries a verifiable chain of custody through a live-streaming media pipeline. This post covers the architecture, AWS service implementation, deployment approach, and engineering trade-offs we encountered while building SENTINEL.
