Episode 126 - The Impact of AI on the future of security

In this episode of the ASIAL Security Insider podcast, we speak
with Professor Jon Whittle about the potential impact of AI on
the future of security.


Jon is the Director at CSIRO's Data61, Australia's national
centre for R&D in data science and digital technologies. With
over 800 staff and affiliates, partnerships with industries
across almost every sector, and collaborations with over 30
Universities, Data61 acts both as a centre for expertise and an
enabler for national initiatives.


Data61's strengths are in #artificialintelligence and
#machinelearning, #cybersecurity and #privacy preserving
technologies, #robotics and #autonomous systems, and
#computationalscience. Data61 works across the entirety of CSIRO,
collaborating with scientists and engineers in manufacturing,
health and biosecurity, agriculture and food, minerals, land and
water, oceans and atmosphere, and energy.


Data61 offers computer scientists, data scientists, engineers and
designers a unique opportunity to work on cutting edge research
that will translate into real-world positive impacts on society.


Jon covers a range of topics including:


The key security threats that AI and ML might help mitigate or
prevent?


 


How AI and ML are currently being used in both the physical and
cybersecurity space, and what results have they achieved so far?


 


The main challenges or limitations of using AI and ML for
security purposes.


 


How AI can help with threat detection, especially against
sophisticated or zero-day attacks?


 


How adversaries are using AI for malicious purposes.


 


What can be done to counteract such threats?


 


The role human experts play in an AI-driven security framework,
and how that might change in the future?


 


How organizations can ensure the AI systems they adopt for
security are unbiased and reliable?


 


What ethical considerations should be kept in mind when deploying
AI and ML for security purposes?


 


How AI might impact data privacy and regulatory compliance in the
realm of physical and cybersecurity?
