Safety & Ethics Β· 40 / 48
π CHECKPOINT PROJECT
This checkpoint converts those hours into a defensible assessment that an executive team would actually act on.
Passing this checkpoint means you will have verified all of the following:
You can read a real AI deployment proposal and identify which Responsible AI principles are at stake, where the current proposal falls short, and what specific changes would close the gaps.
You can perform a data ethics review that names specific at-risk populations using the actual demographics in front of you, not a textbook list of protected classes.
You can threat-model an LLM-based system for the security risks specific to LLMs (prompt injection, training data leakage, PHI exposure through API boundaries, model extraction)
You can design governance and human-oversight structures with named owners, defined escalation paths, and concrete controls.
You can defend an AI safety recommendation to a non-technical executive audience under realistic pushback, acknowledging legitimate concerns without abandoning the position.
You understand the regulatory and frameworks landscape (EU AI Act risk tiers, model cards, system cards, model risk management).
