The Importance of AI Security and ML Security

The podcast episode delves into the significance of AI security and ML security, particularly in the context of the government's concerns. Adversarial machine learning poses real threats, especially with the involvement of nation states with substantial budgets and motivations to carry out attacks. While not all aspects of adversarial machine learning are practical, certain areas, such as attacks on critical infrastructure and data privacy in government applications, require serious consideration. The discussion emphasizes the need for robust security measures to protect AI applications and machine learning systems, as well as the necessity of distinguishing between robustness and security in developing effective defense strategies.
