GenAI Safety & Evaluation Engineering

L5-L6 ยท 7 courses ยท 102 chapters

Design automated LLM evaluation pipelines, red-team GenAI systems, build bias detection and fairness benchmarks, implement guardrails.

What you'll learn

Core responsibilities this discipline prepares you for.

1

Build automated evaluation pipelines

to continuously measure LLM output quality

  • Design evaluation harnesses with RAGAS, DeepEval, and NeMo Evaluator SDK for multi-metric scoring
  • Create evaluation datasets with ground-truth annotations and run cross-provider comparisons
  • Wire CI gates that automatically block deployments when faithfulness or relevance scores degrade
2

Conduct red-team exercises

โ€” probe LLMs for vulnerabilities

  • Automate adversarial testing with Garak for prompt injection, jailbreak, and data extraction probes
  • Run multi-turn adversarial campaigns with Meta GOAT and DeepTeam for agent vulnerability testing
  • Execute red-team campaigns against realistic systems, discover vulnerabilities, and write actionable findings
3

Implement production guardrails

โ€” content filters, PII detection, jailbreak prevention

  • Configure NeMo Guardrails with Colang policy language, Llama Guard 4, and Prompt Guard 2
  • Add Presidio for PII detection/redaction and Model Armor for Google-native content safety
  • Layer multiple defenses, test against comprehensive attack suites, and quantify safety-vs-helpfulness tradeoffs
4

Design GenAI governance frameworks

aligned with regulations

  • Map EU AI Act risk classification and implement NIST AI RMF control frameworks
  • Build OWASP LLM Top 10 mitigation strategies mapped to technical controls
  • Create governance artifacts, conduct risk assessments, and build automated audit trail pipelines
5

Evaluate GenAI agent behavior

โ€” trajectory quality, tool selection accuracy

  • Build trajectory scoring systems measuring tool selection accuracy and task completion quality
  • Design human preference alignment tests and regression test suites for agent workflows
  • Evaluate multi-step agent executions to identify failure modes and build targeted regression tests
6

Monitor bias, fairness, and hallucination rates

in production

  • Detect bias across protected attributes using statistical fairness metrics and disparity analysis
  • Measure hallucination rates through ground-truth comparison and citation verification
  • Implement continuous bias scanning, hallucination detection, and alerting for metric drift
7

Build safety incident response processes

for deployed GenAI systems

  • Design safety monitoring dashboards with severity-based alert routing and escalation paths
  • Build incident triage workflows with containment procedures and post-incident reporting templates
  • Simulate safety incidents end-to-end and practice the full detection-to-resolution workflow
8

Design LlamaFirewall policies

for agent safety

  • Configure LlamaFirewall middleware for controlling agent tool access and output filtering rules
  • Set up multi-agent safety boundaries with policy-based execution constraints
  • Validate firewall policies against adversarial scenarios where agents attempt to bypass controls
