"Commonwealth Cyber Initiative Funds New Round of CyberArts Projects"

In the Commonwealth Cyber Initiative (CCI) 2023 CyberArts Program, researchers from across Virginia will explore cybersecurity issues through an artistic lens. These issues include Artificial Intelligence (AI), privacy, fraud, misinformation, and more. In June, CCI funded six projects conducted by five Virginia universities and colleges, including Blue Ridge Community College, James Madison University, Old Dominion University, Virginia Commonwealth University, and Virginia Tech, in the second installment of its CyberArts Program. According to Luiz DaSilva, the CCI executive director, the CCI CyberArts Program makes cybersecurity more approachable by incorporating performances, interactive artworks, and visual arts. For one of the funded 2023 CyberArts projects, "Cyber Insecurity: Exploring Vulnerabilities of Artificial Intelligence Through Visual Art," researchers will create an exhibit comprised of interactive installations, photography, sculpture, and digital art to raise awareness of the cybersecurity vulnerabilities of Al systems and spark conversation about AI's ethical implications. This article continues to discuss the CCI CyberArts Program.
