AI and Cybersecurity Day
The rise of artificial intelligence (AI) is having a profound impact on our society. AI is already being used in a variety of key areas such as self-driving cars where AI is being used to develop (1) self-driving cars that can navigate roads and avoid obstacles without human intervention, (2) AI based virtual assistants such as Siri and Alexa that can answer questions, make appointments, and control smart home devices, (3) medical diagnosis where AI is being used to diagnose diseases more accurately than human doctors, (4) financial trading where AI is being used to trade financial assets more efficiently than human traders and (5) customer service where AI is being used to develop chatbots that can answer customer questions and resolve issues without human intervention. AI is driving innovation by providing improved efficiency, increased productivity, better decision-making, improved healthcare, or environmental sustainability.
However the rise of AI is also creating new cybersecurity risks that make AI systems vulnerable to new types of cyberattacks, that could have a significant impact on businesses and organizations. Cybersecurity is important for AI systems because they are becoming more complex and interconnected which makes them more vulnerable to cyberattacks, they are being used to collect and store sensitive data, they are often being used in real-time applications, and they are often used in adversarial environments where attackers are constantly trying to find ways to exploit vulnerabilities in AI systems. Cybersecurity is also important for AI because AI systems are increasingly being used in critical infrastructure, such as power grids and transportation systems. If these systems are hacked, it could have a devastating impact on society.
The objective of the day is to present some key research topics at the intersection of AI and cybersecurity in the form of short tutorials or research presentations. The day will address research topics on the use of AI for improving cybersecurity as well as improving the protection of AI systems. Key research areas at the intersection of AI and cybersecurity that will be covered include AI based identification, protection, detection, response and recovery. More specific topics such as AI based AI-powered anomaly detection, AI-powered malware detection, AI-powered incident response and AI-powered ethical hacking will also be addressed.

The Intersection of Cybersecurity and AI: Opportunities and Challenges
In today’s digital economy, where data breaches plague industry and government alike, the fusion of Cybersecurity and Artificial Intelligence (AI) has emerged as a potent defense strategy. This talk explores the symbiotic relationship between AI and cybersecurity, delving into both its promises and perils.
AI has revolutionized cybersecurity, enabling advanced capabilities such as the detection of malware, vulnerabilities and fraud. Yet, as AI empowers defenders, it also empowers attackers. The dark side of AI reveals a landscape where malicious actors harness AI for spear phishing, automated cyberattacks, misinformation, and deepfakes. Moreover, AI itself becomes a target, as shown by adversarial machine learning and model poisoning attacks. Finally, there are concerns about AI creating a dystopia.
The talk further delves into novel technologies such as attribution (watermarking) and computing on encrypted data that can play a role in mitigating some of these risks.
Overall, there is a need for a multidisciplinary approach encompassing technology, regulation, and ethics to effectively address the challenges presented by the intricate relationship between AI, cybersecurity and privacy.

Machine Learning Security in the Real World
Adversarial attacks are considered as one of the most critical security threats for Machine Learning (ML). In order to enable the secure deployment of ML models in the real world, it is essential to properly assess their robustness to adversarial attacks and develop means to make models more robust. Traditional adversarial attacks were mostly designed for image recognition and assume that every image pixel can be modified independently to its full range of values.
In many domains, however, these attacks fail to consider that only specific perturbations could occur in practice due to the hard domain constraints that delimit the set of valid inputs. Because of this, they almost-always produce examples that are not feasible (i.e. could not exist in the real world). As a result, research has developed real-world adversarial attacks that either manipulate real objects through a series of problem-space transformations (i.e. problem-space attacks) or generate feature perturbations that satisfy predefined domain constraints (i.e. constrained feature space attacks). In this talk, we will review the scientific literature on these attacks and report on our experience in applying them to real-world cases.
