Building Secure AI Applications: Your Essential Guide to Optimizing Data and IP Governance
The biggest bottleneck for massive enterprise AI adoption is establishing robust governance frameworks for data and intellectual property.
According to a report from IBM, 75% of global business leaders see AI ethics as crucial, and 82% believe trust and transparency in AI can set them apart.
Let's inspect the AI situation today. The landscape is filled with challenges related to data leakage, generating harmful information from AI models, biased or incorrect outputs, and more.
While the risks of generative AI are massive, they can be overcome!
In this week’s dispatch, we'll dive into the challenges and explore key practices for creating safe and reliable AI applications.
Data Security Risks of Large Language Model Applications
Enterprise LLM applications are easy to imagine and build a demo out of, but challenging to turn into a reliable business application.
The fragility of prompts, jailbreaking attempts, leakage of personally identifiable information, inaccurate or biased outputs, and repeatability are some of the problems faced during product development.
Hence, if LLM applications aren't built with the principles of AI governance, they can screw up. Much like how they've done so in the past. Cue Tay chatbot blunder by Microsoft.
Here are some major risks of large language models today.

Integrating AI Governance into LLM Development
AI governance refers to the frameworks, rules, and guardrails that ensure artificial intelligence tools and systems are developed and used safely and ethically.
Integrating AI governance principles with security measures creates a cohesive development strategy by ensuring that ethical standards and security protections work together. This approach ensures that AI systems are not only technically secure but also ethically sound, transparent, and trustworthy.
Roadmap to Build Secure LLM Applications
Numerous methods can contribute to overcoming the risks of LLMs one by one.
Here's a roadmap that discusses the best practices that can ensure your application is ready for a wider audience.

3moWhile AI governance is undeniably important, I believe the risks associated with LLMs, such as data leakage and biased outputs, may be overstated in some cases. In certain controlled environments, where applications are designed with narrower use cases, these risks can be effectively mitigated with simpler oversight mechanisms. Additionally, focusing too heavily on governance frameworks might slow down innovation, particularly for smaller startups that need to iterate quickly to remain competitive in the fast-moving AI landscape.
