Equips software companies in Flanders to deploy AI code assistants responsibly. The project develops practical mitigations for the security risks of AI-generated code — including prompt engineering, retrieval-augmented generation, and static/dynamic-analysis guardrails — and delivers them through workshops and hands-on training aimed at improving productivity and code quality while reducing vulnerabilities.
