Cybersecurity: AI can go rogue without due checks

Artificial Intelligence (AI) could be one of the most disruptive technologies the world has seen in decades. Virtually every industry can benefit from AI use and its adoption rate reflects widespread confidence in its potential. Further, as preventing ransomware has become a priority for many organisations, they are turning to AI as their defence mechanism. However, like any other tech, AI is a two-sided coin. Threat actors are also turning to AI and ML to launch their attacks. There’s one huge problem that threatens to undermine the application of AI and allows adversaries to bypass the digital fortress undetected. It is called poisoned AI or data poisoning.
