Cybersecurity for AI/ML Systems

Sometimes in order to understand what something is, it's easier to start with what it is not. So, before we understand the unique aspects of securing an AI/ML system, we should first define what we mean by a non-AI/ML system. I am going to assume that the reader knows the basics of cybersecurity for a non-AI/ML system, which is why defining a non-AI/ML system is a good place to start. Once I do that, I can then provide some light on the "delta" between non-AI/ML systems and AI-ML systems when it comes to thinking about threats, vulnerabilities, and protective cybersecurity controls. Let us start by considering a human designing a system.
