Intel & DARPA's Project On Making Object Detection Resilient Against Attacks

Intel, along with the Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech) recently obtained a multimillion-dollar deal from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) in the US. As per the four-year contract, both will work on'Guaranteeing Artificial Intelligence (AI) Robustness against Deception' – or GARD – program for DARPA. According to Intel, it is the main contractor in the multimillion-dollar joint deal, which is targeted at improving cybersecurity defence support facing and spoofing attacks on machine learning (ML) systems. Spoofing attacks can alter and imperil the interpretation of data by the ML algorithms used in an autonomous system. Military systems are vulnerable to security attacks, which can pose risks to extremely sensitive information that can potentially harm military systems.
