🔒InfoQ Launches Two AI Cohorts in October 2026
Two AI cohorts for security and engineering start this fall
TL;DR
InfoQ is running two five-week AI cohorts in October 2026, focusing on security and privacy, and AI-assisted engineering. Led by experts like Katharine Jarmul and Zichuan Xiong, these cohorts aim to equip developers with practical skills.
InfoQ is launching two five-week AI cohorts in October 2026, one focusing on security and privacy and the other on AI-assisted engineering. These cohorts are designed for experienced practitioners to apply methods with facilitators and peers. The security and privacy cohort, led by Katharine Jarmul, examines how to protect sensitive data and test security controls in AI products. The AI-assisted engineering cohort, co-facilitated by Zichuan Xiong and Premanand Chandrasekaran, focuses on checks around coding agents changing an existing codebase. Both cohorts provide a capstone project to assess and present the resulting harness or architecture.
Key Points
InfoQ's AI Security & Privacy Engineering cohort starts October 26, 2026, focusing on protecting sensitive data and testing security controls.
The AI-Assisted Engineering cohort begins October 19, 2026, focusing on checks around coding agents changing existing codebases.
Katharine Jarmul, author of Practical Data Privacy, leads the AI Security & Privacy Engineering cohort.
Zichuan Xiong, Head of AIOps at Thoughtworks, and Premanand Chandrasekaran, Head of Technology at Thoughtworks, co-facilitate the AI-Assisted Engineering cohort.
Both cohorts offer a capstone project to assess and present the resulting harness or architecture.
Why It Matters
If you're working on AI projects and need to ensure security and privacy, these cohorts are a must. Katharine Jarmul's expertise in privacy and security in machine learning can help you protect sensitive data. For those integrating AI into existing codebases, Zichuan Xiong and Premanand Chandrasekaran's guidance on checks and permissions can prevent security breaches.
