“Developers should establish an “AI operations core” for code generation, ensuring inputs and outputs are sanitized and secure. Use only reputable AI models and tools with strong industry acceptance to mitigate risks, such as model tampering or poisoning. This security-first stack fosters safe, effective AI integration, protecting against emerging threats while leveraging AI’s full potential.”

HR teams have an integral role to play in changing this status quo.
