ODSC West 2019 Keynote Dawn Song on AI and Security

#artificialintelligence

The stakes are higher than ever now for AI and security. Following Sepideh Seifzadeh's keynote on managing the AI lifecycle, Dawn Song of the University of California's BAIR Lab took the stage to discuss an important but often overlooked component of the AI lifecycle: Security, specifically with deep learning, and how the stakes are becoming higher as AI becomes more intelligent. We often hear about various security concerns in the news, seemingly every day in regards to a hack affecting our personal information. Though, now both the hackers themselves and AI systems are becoming significantly more sophisticated, and data scientists are tasked with finding new ways to mitigate, prevent, and remedy these advancements. "Our current framework is insufficient for protecting data rights and privacy," she said.
