Security, Compliance, and Governance

Building AI applications requires careful attention to security, compliance, and governance. This guide covers essential practices and considerations for developing secure and compliant AI systems.

Overview

  • Security: Best practices for securing AI applications and infrastructure
  • Compliance: Regulatory requirements and industry standards
  • Governance: Organizational structure and policy frameworks
  • Monitoring: System observability and performance tracking

Core Components

Security

  • Access control and authentication
  • Data protection and privacy
  • Model security and robustness
  • Infrastructure security

Compliance

  • Regulatory requirements
  • Industry standards
  • Documentation and reporting
  • Audit trails

Governance

  • Policy frameworks
  • Decision-making processes
  • Risk management
  • Ethical considerations

Monitoring

  • System metrics and observability
  • Performance tracking
  • Alerting and incident response
  • Analytics and reporting

Human-in-the-Loop

Human oversight is essential, and often legally required, for important AI processes. This section covers approaches to incorporating human judgment and control in AI systems.

Tools and Frameworks

HumanLayer

A Python and TypeScript toolkit enabling AI agents to communicate with humans in tool-based and asynchronous workflows. Incorporating humans-in-the-loop allows agentic tools to access more powerful capabilities while maintaining oversight. image

Implementation Patterns

  • Review Workflows: Processes for human review of AI outputs
  • Intervention Points: Strategic points for human oversight
  • Feedback Loops: Systems for incorporating human feedback
  • Escalation Procedures: Clear paths for handling edge cases
