The AI Risk Map: A Practical Guide to Frameworks, Threats, and GenAI Lifecycle Risks

The AI Risk Map is a detailed guide designed to help individuals and teams navigate the complex landscape of AI security, offering insights into frameworks, threats, and risks associated with AI technologies. It serves as a comprehensive resource for professionals, security enthusiasts, and those curious about AI, highlighting the vulnerabilities of large language models (LLMs) and providing practical security advice, such as data sanitization and PII detection. The guide introduces Lakera's tools like the Gandalf education game and the Lakera Guard security solution, which are designed to enhance understanding and counteract common AI threats. It maps various AI risk frameworks, including MITRE ATLAS, OWASP's Top 10 for LLMs, and the NIST AI RMF, elucidating their overlaps, differences, and coverage of the GenAI lifecycle stages. Additionally, it presents a curated list of the Top 25 AI Risks, linking them to specific lifecycle stages and frameworks to aid in prioritization and understanding. The guide is created for security engineers, product managers, compliance teams, and decision-makers, aiming to clarify the fragmented landscape of AI risk management and ensure focus on the most pertinent risks.
