Five Rules for Handling Untrusted AI Outputs: Validate Before Critical Workflows
goyalshaliniuk · x · 2026-09-27
A practical thread on safely consuming AI-generated output: never send an AI response directly into a critical workflow. Before letting it proceed, validate required fields, data types, allowed values, expected formats, and business rules. The core idea: the model generates, but a separate validation layer decides whether the output can proceed—treat untrusted output like any other untrusted input.
