Prompt Injection Attacks: What They Are and How to Defend Against Them

AI Ethics & Safety, Must Read, Tool Tuesday

As AI systems move from simple chatbots to tool-using agents and automated workflows, a new class of security risk has emerged: prompt injection attacks. Unlike traditional exploits that target code, prompt injection targets instructions themselves—turning language into an attack surface. If you build with LLMs, use AI agents, or connect models to tools, understanding prompt […]

Sanitizing Inputs for AI APIs: A Practical Guide for Developers

AI Ethics & Safety, Must Read, Professional Guides

AI APIs are incredible for summarizing documents, generating content, and automating workflows—but they’re also a fast way to leak sensitive information if you don’t sanitize inputs properly. In practice, “data sanitization” means removing (or transforming) anything that could identify a person, expose credentials, reveal proprietary content, or unintentionally grant access—before the request ever reaches the

Training AI to Be Safe: Inside RLHF and Constitutional AI

AI Ethics & Safety, Must Read, Tech Thursday

Modern AI models seem incredibly capable — they answer questions, write essays, generate code, and act as creative partners. But beneath that smooth interaction lies a much harder challenge: teaching AI systems how to behave safely. Two of the most important alignment strategies used today are RLHF (Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback) and Constitutional AI.
