IPA and AISI Release AI Security Learning Materials
Overview
The Information-technology Promotion Agency, Japan (IPA) and the AI Safety Institute (AISI) have publicly released “Security Tips for AI Users” and “AI Security Brief,” which support the safe use, adoption, and operation of AI. These materials are the result of discussions with experts and industry associations since 2025. The user-focused material consists of presentation slides suitable for internal training, while the material for developers and security professionals is an information brief organizing the latest trends and cases. As cyber risks surrounding AI use ranked third among organizational threats in “Information Security 10 Major Threats 2026,” and few professionals are yet well versed in both fields, the materials are expected to contribute to awareness efforts.
Key points
- IPA and AISI have publicly released AI security materials.
- They provide user-focused learning materials and a professional information brief for their respective audiences.
- Cyber risks surrounding AI use were ranked third among organizational threats.
- The materials will be continuously updated and issued to support the spread of safe AI use.
Overview
Since 2025, IPA and AISI have examined AI security with experts and industry associations to promote the safe and secure use of AI. This release expands the results of those activities to users and practitioners.
While the practical application of advanced AI technologies, including generative AI, is advancing rapidly, issues such as AI misuse and attacks targeting vulnerabilities are becoming apparent. In “Information Security 10 Major Threats 2026,” released by IPA in January 2026, cyber risks surrounding AI use ranked third among organizational threats.
Both AI users and developers now need stronger security measures, as well as broader dissemination and awareness efforts. The two materials provide AI security information for their respective audiences.
