AI Security and Shadow AI: Data, Tools and Everyday Defence
The all-staff course on using AI without putting the organisation at risk: what happens to the data you put into AI tools, why unsanctioned shadow AI is a problem and how to do it the right way, how AI systems can be manipulated through the content they read, and the everyday habits that keep you and your team safe. Four modules, each ending in a five-question assessment, roughly 78 minutes. The security angle the market usually serves only to developers, written for everyone.
What you will be able to do
- Use AI tools with judgement, not guesswork, on real work tasks.
- Spot when a model is wrong, biased or making things up, and act on it.
- Handle data and privacy responsibly when you put information into AI.
- Explain your AI use clearly enough to satisfy a manager or an auditor.

How the course works
You start with a quick calibration that places you, then work through interactive modules at your own pace. Reading and exercises alternate, so you are never just watching. Where it helps, a live AI sandbox lets you practise against a real model and an always-on tutor checks your reasoning before you move on.
