Securing AI systems against manipulation, bias, and adversarial attacks

Free 42 Hours English Released: 2026

About This Course

This course focuses on the security risks, vulnerabilities, and attack surfaces introduced by artificial intelligence and machine learning systems. Students examine how AI models can be manipulated through adversarial inputs, data poisoning, model inversion, and membership inference attacks. The course also addresses AI-specific risk management, model robustness, explainability, and governance considerations. Emphasis is placed on securing AI pipelines across data collection, training, deployment, and monitoring, while balancing ethical, legal, and operational concerns. The course prepares learners to evaluate and defend AI-enabled systems in high-risk and mission-critical environments.
