왜 Prompt-Level Controls가 AI Risk Management의 새로운 최전선인가

Source: Dev.to

Introduction

Generative AI risks are no longer limited to models and data. The real vulnerability now lives in prompts. As highlighted by Technology Radius, prompt‑level governance is emerging as a critical control point for enterprises adopting AI at scale¹.

Why Prompts Are a Risk

• Prompts are attack surfaces – they determine what data AI can access, how models behave, and what outputs are generated.
• A poorly written prompt can:
  • Leak confidential data
  • Trigger biased responses
  • Bypass safeguards

Types of Prompt Risks

• Sensitive data exposure
• Jailbreak attempts
• Policy circumvention
• Unauthorized task execution

These risks scale quickly, especially in enterprise environments.

Governance Approaches

• Real‑time prompt inspection
• Automated policy enforcement
• Context‑aware filtering
• Logging and traceability

Manual reviews are insufficient because AI operates too quickly.

Organizational Ownership

Clear coordination is essential; without it, controls break.

Benefits of Prompt Governance

• Enables scale
• Allows organizations to move faster
• Reduces risk
• Maintains compliance

Outlook

By 2026, prompt‑level controls are expected to become standard. AI governance no longer starts with the model—it starts with the prompt. Organizations that secure prompts secure their AI future.
