Attack on AI Systems: Understanding the Vulnerabilities and Risks
Summary
AI systems are vulnerable to both traditional and novel cyberattacks, and traditional security methods are often insufficient for AI-specific threats. Attacks can be subtle, altering the system's behavior or outcomes without causing obvious malfunctions. The presentation by Allan Cytryn aims to provide a framework for understanding and preparing for these attacks.
