I recently completed an outstanding AI Safety course that covered a broad range of critical topics. The course provided an in-depth exploration of Intellectual Property (IP) Considerations, emphasizing the importance of protecting innovative work in the AI field. Each module was meticulously designed, ensuring comprehensive coverage and easy understanding of complex concepts. The module on Bias in Gen AI Systems was incredibly enlightening. It offered practical strategies to identify and mitigate bias, ensuring the development of fair and ethical AI systems. Real-world examples and case studies made the learning experience highly engaging and relatable. The Spearphishing Gen AI Attacks section provided valuable insights into the tactics used in these sophisticated attacks and effective countermeasures. This section highlighted the significance of robust security practices in AI development. The AI Coding Assistants module showcased how AI can enhance coding efficiency and accuracy. Practical demonstrations and hands-on exercises were immensely beneficial, making theoretical knowledge directly applicable. The modules on Prompt Hacking and Indirect Prompt Injection were exceptionally detailed, covering various techniques and preventative measures. These sections were crucial for understanding potential vulnerabilities in AI systems and how to safeguard against them. Although the HackAPrompt module was slightly challenging, it was incredibly rewarding. It pushed me to think critically and apply knowledge from previous modules to solve complex problems. I strongly suggest to try out Gandalf AI yourself
