Our next presentation within the IBM University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign Discovery Accelerator Institute is coming up in two days: Speaker: Deming Chen, UIUC Title: SaiS - Security for AI and AI for Security Join here on Friday, 10/18, 11 am Eastern Time (or watch recording): https://lnkd.in/gESqbTUh Abstract: Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming various industries and aspects of human life, including healthcare, finance, retail, autonomous vehicles, national security, and smart grids. Consequently, securing AI systems has become imperative. At the same time, AI can significantly enhance system security, for instance, by using machine learning to detect and respond to cyber threats in real-time or employing AI tools to prevent financial crimes. This dual focus—securing AI and leveraging AI for security—is essential, as these two aspects are deeply interconnected. In this talk, we will discuss the unique security challenges faced by AI systems and explore strategies such as Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) to protect AI models and data, especially when using AI accelerators. We will also introduce AI-based techniques for detecting malicious activities in cyber-physical and IoT systems, concluding with a vision for utilizing TEEs, SmartNICs, and a new concept called 'safe-domains' to securely manage diverse AI workloads in hybrid cloud environments.
