Guardrails are checks placed around a language model that inspect what goes in and what comes out, blocking or correcting responses that break rules. They enforce policy in code rather than trusting the prompt.
AI governance is the set of policies, roles and controls an organisation uses to decide how AI systems are built, approved, monitored and retired. It is how responsible AI principles get enforced.
Prompt injection is an attack where text a model reads, such as a web page, email or document, carries instructions that override what the application intended. It is the main security risk for any model that can call tools.
AI security is protecting AI systems, their models, data and connected tools from attack and misuse. It also covers the new risks that AI adoption brings to the rest of the business.
Generative AI produces content such as text, code or images from a prompt, while agentic AI plans steps and uses tools to reach a goal. One creates output; the other acts on it.
Conversational AI is technology that lets people interact with software through natural dialogue, in text or voice. Chatbots, voice assistants and AI support agents are common examples.
An evaluation set is a fixed collection of inputs with expected outcomes, used to score an AI system the same way every time it changes. It plays the role a regression test suite plays for ordinary code.
