Holding AI Accountable

Andrew H

Mr. Pierce mentioned in his CIN TTT AI Essentials course the idea of holding LLMs responsible. ​

Here is an interesting legal suit that will set some legal precedent --​

Mitch,
Thanks for the inspiration! Your testimony and Jason Eckert's Linux TTT webinar series give me the courage to "go deeper" with Linux instruction...

That’s awesome! Going deeper into Linux is the only rabbit hole where the rabbits wear penguin costumes and ask if you’ve tried editing the config file.

CIN TTT Series: AI Essentials and AI Prompting Essentials

@Stephen Schneiter and @Nicholas Pierce
Regarding the AI Essentials and AI Prompting Essentials courses, I do not see the option to take the assessment. Like Mr. Pierce, I am a professor and keep my CompTIA certification account separate from my CompTIA institution account. I would prefer to take the assessment on my personal account, as my full first and last name are on it, rather than on my institution account. I had to change this since the SSO was implemented. Under My Assessments, there is a Contact Support button, but I noticed it shows mailto:[email protected], which I’m not sure is an option or active.

Would you be able to help me with this so I can take the assessment? I’m not sure if others are having issues, mine for a fact is not showing :(

Also thank you because @Stephen Schneiter knows how popular he is ;) I wanted to say thank you for all your hard work and patience especially when I'm taking the Linux CIN TTT courses and watched the videos, telling him I have the content and I promise I'll do it on my institution account. Spinal fusions are fun haha. I can't wait for the voucher and then I finally get my break soon! YAY!

CIN TTT Series: AI Essentials and AI Prompting Essentials

Are we able to watch today’s session if we can’t today, tomorrow?

I also had a general discussion question I thought of and would like to discuss further, I would love to hear perspectives and thoughts on my question. if the question comes up, I will be watching the recorded session tomorrow which hopefully is an option.

If two students in the same college class are involved in a situation where one unknowingly shares a malicious AI-generated reference, and the other clicks the link and receives a virus, does the affected student have grounds for legal action against the other? I assume the appropriate step is to notify the professor. If students are working from home, what procedures should be followed? I imagine the answer varies, but I thought I’d ask anyway: are people using a disclaimer that serves as enough, or are they thinking about moving forward with other measures, since AI can push out malicious links? As I replay the words, “trust but verify”, not all will follow this advice.

I love AI and still am learning a lot but having to teach and realize some people cannot use and ask Google questions is a challenge because now I have to form their minds. What do you all do for these kinds of moments and any thoughts on the above?

CIN The Pulse: Preparing for Post-Quantum Cryptography

Stephen Schneiter
Join us as CIN kicks off 2026 with a webinar discussing Post-Quantum Cryptography! As quantum computing progresses into reality, traditional, trusted, and time-honored algorithms and methods have kept our daily activities safe are increasingly under pressure. This includes the RSA public-key cryptography algorithm, the Digital Signature Algorithm, the Diffie-Hellman Key Exchange, and Elliptic Curve Cryptography. In other words, the things that protect your very identity are at risk of being compromised, prompting the need for new, quantum-resistant solutions. Join CompTIA's Chief Technology Evangelist, Dr. James Stanger, as he talks with NIST's Bill Newhouse to hear more about his activities in helping organizations around the world prepare your attack surface for Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC). They will discuss how organizations are taking a more mature approach to their operations. This includes truly embracing automation, improving processes, as well as using a generation of cryptographic protocols that can better safeguard the sensitive information we handle.

Topics will include:
  • A quick overview of Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC)
  • The impact of PQC on how we do things today
  • A practical overview of post-quantum issues and readiness: What we've learned from past rollouts
  • Migrating to post-quantum encryption
  • Determining if your problem surface is ready post-quantum cryptography

What: CIN The Pulse: Preparing for Post-Quantum Cryptography
When: Thursday, January 15, 12:00 - 1:00 pm CST
Who: James Stanger, Chief Technology Evangelist, CompTIA and Bill Newhouse, Cybersecurity Project Lead, NIST
Where: ON24

AI essentials TTT session 1 certificate

BrianFord
Regarding a 'Certificate of Completion for these CompCert TTT sessions. Is this really an issue? The CompCert courses have an assessment contained within the course materials. No 'exam voucher' is available for a CompCert course as there is no external exam.

My suggestion regarding claiming CPE credit would be to claim 60 minutes and submit a screen cap of the title slide from the downloaded presentation.

I hope that helps.

Sorry. I interpreted 'They can't afford to fail.' as the students couldn't afford to fail. I've participated in a good number of workplace training programs and find that sometimes the sponsors have unrealistic expectations of the participants. Who knew?

I know what you mean. A few months ago I had a group from the military learning SecurityX and I was told they expected a 100% pass rate. I told the coordinator at the end of the first day that I would gladly point out which students would (or should) pass the exam, and the 50% who did not have nearly the required prerequisites, background, or work ethic to pass the exam at the end of the week. They were taken aback... but they passed my comments up the chain of command and it was accepted. By the way... I was 100% right on who would and who would not pass :)

Thanks. I know what the clients have for time, and based on what CompTIA recommends for the amount of time available, then that's what we'll go with. The pacing is just an excel document where you plug in how much time you want to take, and then the excel document will give you an idea of what the materials will be, etc. They are concerned about the timing and want to make sure they have the correct timing with what they want to allot for time.

It's perfectly reasonable to say a company cannot fail. This is a company with a positive track record of working with providing training for many companies. They are also a vendor that has a lot of competition. For them, and for me, it is imperative that we do not fail. We want to put our best foot foward, provide the best training, ensure we have the best outcomes, and ensure that people are employable. They understand all about measuring and metrics. This is a pretty simple ask and doesn't need to have a lot of extra complications in. We need that excel document to eusure we aren't asking for too much or too little, considering the amount of material provided by CertMaster. Or- maybe we will just build out our own materials. I've worked under both situations. Personally, I'd prefer to use CertMaster. I'll do whatever they want.

The other stuff you're asking are already taken under advisement and is included in their contract.

Thanks!
