Katie Paxton-Fear is not only a bug bounty hunter but also a Defence and Security educator both in the Cranfield University and on her own YouTube channel (16k+ subscribers).
In the interview for The Daily, Swig Katie has mentioned the importance of paying attention to finding vulnerabilities in AI for safer usage. Moreover, she highlighted the expected growth of attacks targeted on AI systems. Katie also says: “As a community I think we need to start encouraging data scientists, AI engineers, and machine learning engineers to become hackers themselves and start hacking these [untested] AI systems”.

Portland, USA joins San Francisco, Oakland, and Boston in banning facial recognition, though this one is more strict than others.
Not only police but also businesses will be deprived of facial recognition systems usage concerning gender and racial biases. What is more, the technology seems far from perfect as identifications are primarily incorrect (96% of the time, according to CNET). Such inaccuracy lead “ to wrongful arrests on multiple occasions”.
So, like any other technology based on AI facial recognition still needs developing and testing for more reliable and more satisfactory outcomes.

So, to protect any AI-based process companies might consider paying attention to such a system, which not only traces hidden threats but also lifts engaged teams’ efficiency.
