Ensuring security of data systems in the wake of rogue AI - Information Age

Thorsten Stremlau, co-chair of TCG's Marketing Work Group, discusses how security of data systems for AI can be kept strong Attacks on artificial intelligence (AI) differ from the typical cyber security threats seen on a daily basis, but this does not mean they are at all infrequent. Hacking continues to become increasingly sophisticated, and has evolved from simply hiding bugs in code. Unless properly secured, hackers are able to tamper with these systems and alter its behaviour in order to'weaponise' AI. This provides a perfect way for hackers to obtain sensitive data or corrupt systems designed to authenticate and validate users, with no easy fix should an attack be successful. Where security is considered, it is not only important to look at the aspects of a rogue AI, but also how the data sets of a system can be secured.
