Course Curriculum

Module 1: Strategic AI Weaponization and Authenticity

Understand the weaponization triad: capability, intent, and doctrine, including supply-chain risks.
Explore the authenticity stack: C2PA, watermark limitations, and provenance graphs.
Hands-on: Utilize a provenance verifier (C2PA/EXIF + heuristics), conduct benign OSINT graphing, and triage deepfakes using a notebook.

Module 2: Adversarial AI and Model Security

Identify the AI threat surface: poisoning attacks, backdoors, prompt injection, and data exfiltration.
Implement defense-in-depth strategies and map purple-team tactics to detections and controls.
Hands-on: Develop policy-driven two-pass RAG with local LLMs, demonstrate robustness using ART/TextAttack, and perform telemetry anomaly scoring.

Module 3: AI Misuse Detection

Design and implement an LLM misuse detector with a Streamlit mini-dashboard.
Apply provenance verification (batch CLI) integrated with policy actions.
Harden RAG intake with hash/MIME checks, denylists, and canaries.

Module 4: Robustness and Anomaly Detection

Assess the robustness of AI models against adversarial attacks.
Implement and evaluate anomaly scoring techniques for telemetry data.
Compare autoencoder performance against Isolation Forest for outlier detection (optional).

Module 5: Operational Governance and Incident Response

Define and track Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for AI security.
Establish effective monitoring strategies for AI systems.
Develop robust incident response plans and conduct After Action Reviews (AAR).

Module 6: Advanced Defense Strategies and Purple Teaming

Map advanced attack techniques to defensive controls and detections.
Practice purple-teaming exercises to enhance AI system resilience.
Implement next-generation protective measures against evolving AI threats.
