07Self-test
Answer in your head, then open to check.
What carries an indirect prompt injection?
Web pages, emails, files and tool outputs the agent reads.
What is the “lethal trifecta”?
Access to private data, untrusted content and the ability to communicate externally, all at once.
The two key steps of DP-SGD?
Per-example gradient clipping and adding noise.
