"AI Fight Club Could Help Save Us from a Future of Super-Smart Cyberattacks"

A new contest ran by Kaggle, which is a platform for data science competitions, will allow researchers to battle each other with AI algorithms. This competition was created in an effort to encourage learning and understanding of protecting machine-learning systems against cyberattacks. The contest will contain three challenges, which involve confusing a machine-learning system into improper function, forcing a system to perform incorrect classification, and developing highly powerful defenses.  This article further discusses the growing importance of machine learning, potential impacts posed by attacks on machine-learning systems, the challenge of studying adversarial machine learning, along with the goals of this competition.
