Synopsis
Artificial Intelligence is a hot topic and many organisations are now looking to exploit these technologies, at the same time, there are many concerns around the impact this will have on society. The concept of AI is not new, but cloud computing has provided the access to data and computing power needed to turn it into a practical reality. However, while there are some legitimate concerns, the current state of AI is still a long way from the science fiction portrayal of a threat to humanity. Machine Learning technologies provide significantly improved capabilities to analyze large amounts of data in a wide range of forms. While this poses a threat of “Big Other” it also makes them especially suitable for spotting patterns and anomalies and hence potentially useful for detecting fraudulent activity, security breaches and non-compliance.
Whatever our concerns, these technologies will be used by our cyber adversaries and, in their current state, have vulnerabilities. How can we safely exploit and govern AI?
This presentation will use practical examples to illustrate:
- Where AI can currently be successfully applied;
- The governance and ethical issues that need to be considered around the use of AI;
- Vulnerabilities and governance of Machine Learning;
- The practical application of AI to security, governance and compliance.
