AI Prompt Engineering: Techniques, Threats, and Security

Just weeks after the first large-scale compromise of a frontier AI system — where attackers used sophisticated prompt-injection and agentic chains to extract sensitive internal data — the stakes for prompt security have never been higher.

Join us for a Meetup on Prompt Engineering: Techniques, Threats, and Security, where we'll dive into the art and science of crafting prompts that get the most out of AI systems—while addressing the risks and safeguards needed in today's AI landscape.

This event is in partnership with the NW Innovation Resource Center. NW IRC assists entrepreneurs to create, build and grow innovative businesses that strengthen the economic diversity of NW Washington. The event will be held at the IRC Lab - SWIFT, a new resource of the NWIRC for entrepreneur prototyping and coworking in Sedro-Woolley.

The meetup will include a brief tour of the facility and will provide light refreshments/snacks for in-person attendees.

What You'll Learn:
Prompt Engineering Techniques: Core methods like few-shot prompting, Chain of Thought (CoT) for step-by-step reasoning, and iterative refinement.

Threats and Vulnerabilities: Risks including prompt injections, jailbreaking and data poisoning.

Security Best Practices: Defensive strategies to create resilient, secure prompts that protect against exploitation.

Whether you're a beginner looking to level up your prompting skills or an expert concerned about security in production environments, you'll walk away with practical insights.
