Reference answer

For each, give a 30-second definition + a real-world failure mode + a mitigation. Constitutional AI: alignment during training via principle-based critiques vs. RLHF. Prompt injection: define direct vs. indirect injection; mitigation via input segmentation + privilege-controlled tools + output validation. Guardrailing: define the boundaries (block lists, allow lists, output classifiers, function-call schema enforcement). Data privacy: data residency, training opt-out, PII scrubbing. Model steering: prompt vs. fine-tune vs. system-prompt layering.

Then expect these follow-ups
