Responsible AI & Security

Turn responsible-AI principles into risk registers, threat models, evaluation gates, incident plans, and accountable operating practices.

For Builders, security teams, product owners, and governance leaders

Course outline

  1. 1Build an AI Risk Register People Actually UseTurn vague AI concerns into scenario-level entries with named owners, detection signals, and regression tests, so the register drives engineering work instead of sitting in a compliance folder.Intermediate20 min
  2. 2Threat-Model an LLM ApplicationSort every component into trust zones, find the four transitions where untrusted content silently gains authority, and derive abuse cases from assets so the model produces regression tests rather than a reading list.Advanced22 min
  3. 3Prompt Injection: Why Filtering Cannot Fix ItUnderstand why a language model cannot separate instructions from data, how indirect injection reaches you through your own retrieval pipeline, and which controls actually bound the damage.Advanced18 min
  4. 4Sensitive Information Disclosure in LLM SystemsMap the six routes by which private data escapes an AI feature, apply the data minimization ladder, and enforce tenant isolation in the retrieval query rather than in the answer.Advanced17 min
  5. 5Excessive Agency and Least Privilege for AgentsSeparate the three dimensions of agency, fix the confused deputy problem with identity propagation, and place approval at the action tier instead of the session.Advanced17 min
  6. 6Improper Output HandlingTreat model output as untrusted input, map every sink it can reach, and apply the encoding each destination requires instead of one generic sanitize step.Advanced16 min
  7. 7Red-Team an AI SystemRun adversarial testing as a repeatable loop with scoped objectives, technique coverage, impact-based severity, and findings that become permanent regression tests.Advanced17 min
  8. 8AI Supply Chain SecurityInventory the six layers you inherit when shipping an AI feature, pin and mirror model artifacts like packages, and understand why poisoning evades aggregate metrics.Advanced17 min
