Prompt Engineering for AI:
A Risk Perspective

About this course

Prompt engineering is rapidly becoming one of the most important skills for organisations using generative AI. While prompts serve as the primary method of communicating with AI systems, they can also introduce significant governance, security, and operational risks if not managed effectively.

This workshop explores prompt engineering from a risk management perspective, examining both the risks associated with poor prompting practices and the risks organisations face by failing to establish structured approaches to AI interaction. Participants will gain practical techniques for creating more effective, secure, and reliable prompts while strengthening governance over AI-generated outcomes.
