Machine Learning: A Subset of AI

Every method of computing invites its own security challenges and machine learning (ML) is no exception. Fortunately, the vulnerabilities in this segment of artificial intelligence (AI) are fairly predictable. Unfortunately, however, they are not very easy to spot. When we consider the vast amount of data involved, the fine granularity of that data, and the fact that machine learning both learns and improves as it goes along, therein lies the challenges. Machine learning processes data from patterns that are imperceptible to humans, which is both an asset and a vulnerability.
