Adversa at Machine Learning Week 2021

Alex Polyakov and Eugene Neelou deliver their talks about the state of trusted AI and challenges for securing AI applications at Machine Learning Week Europe Virtual Livestream 2021. 

The week of June 14th to 18th hundreds of data scientists, analytics managers and AI visionaries from pharma, manufacturing, marketing, insurance, and many more sectors met for keynotes and extensive expert exchanges at 6 conferences on 5 days discussing the 4 key topics with the 3 best topic experts. Each expert will present the 10 most important insights on 10 slides in 10 minutes followed by an intensive discussion panel and Q&A with the participants. 

Alex Polyakov did a presentation “The State of Secure and Trusted AI 2021”.

To raise security awareness in the field of Trusted AI, we started more than a year ago a project to analyze the past decade of academic, industry, and governmental progress. The eye-opening results reveal an exponential growth of interest in testing AI systems for security and bias and the absence of adequate defenses. This research aims to make companies aware of insecure and malicious AI by sharing insights formed based on almost 2000 research papers.

Also, Eugene Neelou and Alex Polyakov took part in table discussions with the topic “Current Challenges for Securing AI Applications”. 

In April, the EU released requirements for AI. The requirements ensure that AI applications are trusted and can be used in highly critical environments. One of them is ensuring that AI applications are secure and safe. We will discuss who should be responsible for securing AI applications in an organization, what the first steps to operationalize AI security are, as well as what the differences for securing AI in various environments and the latest approaches practically applicable.
