Yeah, it’s a real thing. I keep my model files in encrypted vaults and never expose the raw assets to the cloud unless it’s a signed, vetted API. The AI can pull in a corrupted mesh if the input isn’t validated, so I run integrity checks on every import. Data leakage is another headache; I scrub any personal or proprietary info from training sets and use differential privacy whenever I’m fine‑tuning on client data. It’s a balancing act, but keeping the pipeline airtight saves a lot of headaches later.
