Summary of the talks:

 
Hackable intelligence
Many researches have and are proving that AI applications can be easily fooled and hacked so they make wrong decisions and fail in their tasks in ways that benefit potential attackers. Different attacks have been proposed against AI that compromise the confidentiality, integrity and availability of the systems deploying these solutions.

Those attacks against AI are fundamentally different from traditional cyberattacks. This is because the underlying algorithms used to implement AI systems are inherently vulnerable. They can’t be easily patched or replaced as compared to fixing bugs and securing codes when it comes to facing traditional cyberattacks. Furthermore, when compliance programs have been utilized in different industries to protect against traditional cyberattacks, there are no clear standardized guidelines that help industries to implement AI solutions that protect from possible attacks on their AI systems.

Perspectives on model risk management of cybersecurity solutions in banking
The sooner banks start their journey and establish an effective approach to model risk management of cybersecurity solutions, the quicker they will be able to manage risk and establish controls.
