AI security is an industry where job descriptions are still being written in real time, which makes "what should I actually learn" a hard question to answer.

Harriet Farlow's Practical AI Security is the best answer we've seen yet. It covers the full AI security lifecycle, structured around the work as it's actually being done.

If you're trying to break into AI security, or you're already in security and watching this part of the field grow faster than you can keep up with, Harriet's book is full of practical skills that map to what employers are actually hiring for.
