Every once in a while there is a product or technology that comes out that is a complete game changer not only for organizations, but society as a whole. The advent of AI is not new, but the adoption of large language models has exploded over the past seven years, giving everyday people the ability to understand complex topics and even assist with intricate engineering deployments. When used correctly, these tools can help you achieve your goals with nothing more than words on a screen and iterative prompts.
If you equate your organization to a mission then one thing should always be top of mind, “This mission is too important for me to allow you to jeopardize it.”
AI Guardrails
Like any tools that are very useful and help you get your job done, there should be safety precautions taken when using these tools. A carpenter is able to do a job faster with an electric saw. Electric saws speed up the job, but need guardrails for safety. LLM’s are no different. LLM’s need guardrails to serve as an additional protective layer, reducing the risk of harmful or misleading outputs.
Potential Risks:
Data Privacy- Ensure organization privacy requirements are met by protecting against the leak or disclosure of sensitive corporate information, PII (personal identifiable information), and other secrets.
Content Moderation- Guarantee that the AI applications being used adhere to your company’s content guardrails, approved usage guidelines, and policies. Align the application’s output with its intended use and block attempts to divulge information that could damage your organization reputation.
General risks- Safeguard the applications integrity and performance by preventing misuse, ensuring secure data management, and employing a range of standard tools and proactive measures, such as detecting and blocking insecure code handling or blocking unwanted URL’s in prompts and responses.

At AITG, security remains the foundation of our approach, guiding how we secure and manage AI systems. Let us help make your organization and team work more efficiently by enabling them to use AI the right way, securely and responsibly.
