AI Security Lead

A model can sit behind perfectly locked-down infrastructure and still be talked into leaking data or taking an action it shouldn't — through the prompt itself. The AI Security Lead exists to find that failure mode before an attacker does: adversarial testing and model-level security, distinct from the infrastructure security a CISO already owns. This bundle is the operator's manual for that seat.

It's the sixth and final role in AI Accountability's initial map — distinct from AI Risk Officer (non-adversarial accuracy and drift) and AI Governance Lead (policy and sign-off): this seat supplies the technical finding that those functions act on.
