SECURING AI DECISION-
MAKING SYSTEMS
One of the major security risks to AI
systems is the potential for
adversaries to compromise the
integrity of their decision-making
processes so that they do not make
choices in the manner that their
designers would expect or desire.
One way to achieve this would be for
adversaries to directly take control of
an AI system so that they can decide
what outputs the system generates
and what decisions it makes.
Alternatively, an attacker might try to
influence those decisions more subtly
and indirectly by delivering malicious
inputs or traini ng data to an AI
model.

HOW TO IMPROVE
CYBERSECURITY FOR
ARTIFICIAL
INTELLIGENCE
I
n January 2017, a group of artificial
intelligence researchers gathered
at the Asilomar Conference
Grounds in California and
developed 23 principles for artificial
intelligence, which was later dubbed
the Asilomar AI Principles. The sixth
principle states that “AI systems
should be safe and secure throughout
their operational lifetime, and
verifiably so where applicable and
feasible.” Thousands of people in both
academia and the private sector have.
since signed on to these principles,
but, more than three years after the
Asilomar conference, many questions
remain about what it means to make
AI systems safe and secure.
Much of the discussion to date has
centered on how beneficial machine
learning algorithms may be for
identifying and defending against
computer-based vulnerabilities and
threats by automating the detection
of and response to attempted
attacks. Conversely,
concerns have been raised that using
AI for offensive purposes may make
cyberattacks increasingly difficult to
block or defend against by enabling
rapid adaptation of malware to adjust
to restrictions imposed by
countermeasures and security
controls.
A related but distinct set of issues
deals with the question of how AI
systems can themselves be secured,
not just about how they can be used
to augment the security of our data
and computer networks. The push to
implement AI security solutions to
respond to rapidly evolving threats
makes the need to secure AI itself
even more pressing;
“Increasing dependence on AI
for critical functions and
services will not only create
greater incentives for attackers
to target those algorithms, but
also the potential for each
successful attack to have more
severe consequences.”
if we rely on machine learning
algorithms to detect and respond to
cyberattacks, it is all the more
important that those algorithms be
protected from interference,
compromise, or misuse. Increasing
dependence on AI for critical
functions and services will not only
create greater incentives for
attackers to target those algorithms,
but also the potential for each
successful attack to have more
severe consequences.
