“AI Solutions gets built with company’s data which sometimes are quite sensitive and Securing these AIs from leaking sensitive information should be of foremost concern for Organisations.”
– Mick Wood, CTO and Co-Founder, insightfactory.ai
Does your business use AI? Is your AI built with Sensitive information secure?
If you and your business have gone through or planning to implementation of AI then You need to be aware of the need of data. AI needs data for its training and gaining higher accuracy. This data in-turn depends on the type of problem that is targeted by the AI project which can be sensitive in many cases. Such as creation of AI for Email Generation or Financial Summarization deals with sensitive data which cannot be available to others apart from necessary people. This Type of AI dealing with sensitive data can be of quite importance to the business to prevent and secure their data as It could lead to reveal of company’s important data. Now in the AI Era, As AI projects become increasingly widespread, data scientists and cybersecurity professionals are beginning to ask, “Is my AI secure?” While the question may seem straightforward, the complexity and opacity often surrounding data science make it anything but simple.
The security implications of AI are often not well understood, even as its adoption becomes more widespread. While many data scientists are exceptionally skilled, there is often a lack of awareness about the cybersecurity consequences of implementing AI pipelines that make critical decisions without significant human oversight. The use of multiple platforms, toolkits, and data sources, combined with the involvement of diverse teams, can further increase these risks.
At the same time, cybersecurity professionals frequently view data science as a “black box” and may not fully grasp the complexities involved in securing machine learning systems.
Risks Associated to Security of AI Solutions:
- Model Extraction
An attacker that regularly asks an AI system to study its behavior in the hopes of replicating or stealing the model itself poses a major threat known as “model extraction.” The risk of model theft increases as companies depend more and more on expensive and complex AI models to power their goods and services. Such theft has the potential to do serious harm, jeopardizing an organization’s intellectual property and eroding its competitive advantage.
- Data Poisoning
Data poisoning is among the most important risks to take into account when it comes to AI security. This happens when a malicious party tampers with the training data to affect how the model functions, which in turn changes the pipeline’s results. The success and dependability of a project may be disproportionately affected by such intervention. The seriousness of this issue is highlighted by studies that show that even little changes to the training data can have a significant impact on the model’s predictions.
- Model Evasion
When adversaries try to get around detection systems, such spam filters or malware detectors, by changing inputs to trick the AI model, this is known as model evasion. Model evasion assaults, which are comparable to data poisoning, usually target the inference or prediction stages with the goal of making the model classify incorrectly. The attacker’s understanding of the system or pipeline, which can aid them in creating inputs that successfully avoid detection, frequently determines how effective these attacks are.
- Data Extraction
Attacks known as data extraction or model inversion aim to retrieve the attributes that were used to train an AI model. By doing this, hackers may be able to start membership inference attacks, which could expose private or sensitive information. These kinds of attacks seek to get data that a machine learning model was never intended to reveal by reversing the information flow of the model. The security of data utilized in AI systems may be jeopardized, and privacy may be compromised.
