On August 5, CTO at Adversa Eugene Neelou delivered a talk at DEF CON AI Village to show the whole picture of ML and its security in today’s realities. The AI Village is a community of hackers and data scientists working to educate the world on the use and abuse of artificial intelligence in security and privacy.
Machine learning has proven its value in many industries. Yet, due to fast implementations, most real-world ML systems affecting human lives are catastrophically insecure. The state of ML security today is similar to computer security in the 90s.
Eugene’s presentation connected many signals from governments, academia, and industry in their efforts to secure AI systems. The talk was based on his own research that covered the past 10 years of progress in adversarial machine learning.
Eugene focused on the industry and covered the rising number of real-world vulnerabilities in AI systems, emerging ML security tools and frameworks, and the growth of AI red teams.
