Security & Privacy

AI security

Protecting AI models, data, tools, and applications from attack, misuse, or unauthorized access.

Example

A security program protects the model, its data, tools, users, and surrounding infrastructure.

Why it matters

It helps prevent stolen information, interrupted services and unauthorized actions that can damage a business.

You'll hear it

“That assistant has access to more files than it needs.”

Can you control it?

Set by the team

The people building or running the AI choose this setup. An everyday user generally needs their help to change how this part works.

Common questions

Can an AI answer accurately and still be insecure?
Yes. Correct answers do not show that private information is protected or that actions are properly restricted.
Do existing computer protections still matter?
Yes. Account protection, updates and access limits still matter alongside risks introduced by the AI itself.
Can a new connected tool create a new weakness?
Yes. A tool can add access or behavior that earlier security checks did not cover.
