Founder, AI Safety 101

Los Altos, California

Why this course exists

Sid has spent his career building compliance technology for regulated financial firms. In his work with regulated financial firms, he sees the same pattern everywhere: employees adopt AI tools overnight, and the firm's training is an annual slide deck nobody remembers. AI Safety 101 is the fix - short interactive drills built on incidents that actually happened, with evidence an examiner accepts.

Track record

Sid founded Entreda, the cybersecurity compliance platform for financial advisors, acquired by Smarsh. He has been through the SEC/FINRA exam cycle from the builder's side for over a decade - which is why every module here ends with audit-ready evidence, not a participation trophy.

The standard comes from financial services. The course is for every workplace that runs on AI.
