Adversarial AI and exploiting machine learning models

Artificial intelligence (AI) is a technology that presents great opportunities for many organisations and society as a whole. Many institutions are incorporating AI into their business processes to find efficiencies, improve their decision making, and offer better end user experiences. Even though AI attack surfaces are emerging, future security strategies should take account of adversarial AI, with the emphasis on engineering resilient modelling structures and strengthening against attempts to introduce adversarial manipulation. As adversarial AI has emerged over the past five years, Accenture has seen an increasing number of adversarial attacks exploiting machine learning models. Such exploitation could multiply with the magnitude of threats facing organisations.
