What you'll learn
The Illusion of Guardrails
Discover why current industry security filters are often "snake oil" that fail against adaptive attacks
Why You Can't Patch a Brain
Explore the "original sin" of LLM architecture—the concatenation of trusted and untrusted input
Engineering Robustness with CaMeL - beyond "scaffolding"
Principled defensive architecture that separates a system's control flow from untrusted data
Why this topic matters
As AI agents gain autonomy, weak guardrails turn small prompt hacks into serious security and safety risks. Understanding why traditional defenses fail—and how to design systems that separate control from untrusted data—helps you build safer AI by design. This lesson grows you from tool-user to systems thinker, capable of evaluating real-world risk in agentic AI products.
