Two of the US government's leading security agencies are building a machine learning-based analytics environment to defend against rapidly evolving threats and create more resilient infrastructures for both government entities and private organizations. The Department of Homeland Security - in particular its Science and Technology Directorate research arm - and Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency picture a multicloud collaborative sandbox that will become a training ground for government boffins to test analytic methods and technologies that rely heavily on artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques.
For even the most skilled hackers, it can take at least an hour to write a script to exploit a software vulnerability and infiltrate their target. Soon, a machine may be able to do it in mere seconds.When OpenAI last week released its ChatGPT tool, allowing users to interact with an artificial intelligence chatbot, computer security researcher Brendan Dolan-Gavitt wondered whether he could instruct it to write malicious code. So, he asked the model to solve a simple capture-the-flag challenge.
India's Telecom Regulatory Authority has announced a fresh crackdown on TXT spam - this time using artificial intelligence, after a previous blockchain-powered effort delivered mixed results. The TRAI's approach to managing spam - or Unsolicited Commercial Communication as it prefers to describe it - saw the regulator create a mandatory register of telemarketers and telecoms service providers, and require them to secure opt-ins from message recipients.
Clearview AI does not have a legitimate interest in collecting and using this data either, particularly given the intrusive and massive nature of the process, which makes it possible to retrieve the images present on the Internet of several tens of millions of Internet users in France. The seriousness of this breach led the CNIL chair to order Clearview AI to cease, for lack of a legal basis, the collection and use of data from people on French territory, in the context of the operation of the facial recognition software it markets.
France's data protection authority has fined Clearview AI with €20 million for illegal collection and processing of biometric data belonging to French citizens. Clearview AI received the same fine from Italian and Greek data protection authorities for the same violations in March and July.
Where are we today and what are some of the tailwinds driving the implementation of AI into supply chains, especially coming out of COVID? Where do we see the future of AI in modern supply chains and in the supply chains of the future?
This is an interesting attack I had not previously considered. The variants are interesting, and I think we’re just starting to understand their implications.
Fivetran announced the results of a survey which shows that while 87 percent of organizations consider artificial intelligence vital to their business survival, 86 percent say they would struggle to fully trust AI to make all business decisions without human intervention. 90 percent of respondents report their organizations continue to rely on manual data processes.
Russia's internet watchdog Roskomnadzor is developing a neural network that will use artificial intelligence to scan websites for prohibited information. Examples of information targeted by Oculus include homosexuality "Propaganda," instructions on manufacturing weapons or drugs, and misinformation that discredits official state and army sources.
Knowledge of cybersecurity and artificial intelligence has become crucial to a successful business. Businesses everywhere need true expertise to protect their data to avoid their competitors getting ahead. In this Help Net Security video, Taylor Hersom, CEO at Eden Data, discusses why we need AI and how it helps minimize human error, as well as cybersecurity threats such as ransomware.
