Dr. Nikola Protrka on LinkedIn: The Next Cybersecurity Crisis: Poisoned AI

For the past decade, artificial intelligence has been used to recognize faces, rate creditworthiness and predict the weather. At the same time, increasingly sophisticated hacks using stealthier methods have escalated. The combination of AI and cybersecurity was inevitable as both fields sought better tools and new uses for their technology. But there's a massive problem that threatens to undermine these efforts and could allow adversaries to bypass digital defenses undetected. The danger is data poisoning: manipulating the information used to train machines offers a virtually untraceable method to get around AI-powered defenses.
