The Path to MLBOM 

In the second episode of AppSec AIrwaves, James Berthoty interviews Jacob Barkay, a product security architect at Edwards Life Sciences. They discuss the impact of large language models (LLMs) on product security, especially in regulated industries like healthcare. Jacob emphasizes the importance of ensuring the security of LLMs, transparency, and rigorous checks. He highlights the evolving nature of AI security standards and the need for data scientists to understand these risks. They also cover the challenges of securing LLMs, including governance, runtime observability, and pre-deployment testing. Jacob mentions integrating security tools into data scientists' workflows and using existing tools and standards like IBM's Adversarial Robustness Toolbox and model cards.

Jacob's advice for security engineers: understand potential risks, ensure visibility of AI models, and promote a culture of security awareness.
