As AI technologies become a core part of your software, you need a robust strategy and a secure design methodology to manage the new risks. This chapter focuses on the first two pillars of the AI TrustOps framework: AI Strategy & Governance and Secure AI Design. We will show you how to establish a clear accountability model for AI initiatives, document your risk posture, and build a cross-functional governance team. You'll also learn how to integrate AI-native risk indicators—like bias, explainability, and hallucinations—into your systems architecture and proactively model new threat vectors introduced by AI and ML models.
