In my experience, these biggest pitfalls can be mitigated by:
– Using diverse, representative datasets to reduce bias.
– Combining AI with human-in-the-loop validation to filter false positives/negatives.
– Investing in data governance and quality controls to ensure clean inputs.
– Building with compliance by design and maintaining clear audit trails to satisfy regulators.
Ultimately, the most effective approach is AI augmentation, not replacement — pairing automation with skilled professionals to balance scale, accuracy, and accountability.

Data, especially biased data, is a huge concern. Companies just starting should consider "synthetic data" to test the integrity of their AI. Another pitfall not mentioned is worker bias towards AI, will they use it in the first place?

First and foremost, I would not recommend going down to model level when trying to implement digital security. Use the tools where much of low-level issues you mention are being addressed by tool's product team. Basically, don't build - let others do it right, and use the result of that work.

And for data quality - AI specifically relies on prompts, most of the businesses have data landscape very conductive to contain prompt injections. That must be addressed with great attention, otherwise no matter what AI tools you use, you may get yourself in trouble - the bigger one, the more power such tools have.
