"AI Must Have Better Security, Says Top Cyber Official"

Lindy Cameron, CEO of the UK National Cyber Security Centre, emphasizes that cybersecurity must be implemented into Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems. According to Cameron, it is essential to implement robust systems in the early phases of AI development. In the future, AI will play a role in numerous facets of daily life, from homes and cities to national security and even warfare. Although there are benefits to using AI, there are multiple risks. As companies race to develop new AI products, there is concern that security is being neglected. Companies competing to secure their position in the growing AI market may prioritize getting their systems to market as quickly as possible without considering the potential for misuse. The scale and complexity of AI models are such that it will be much more difficult to retrofit security if the proper fundamental principles are not applied during the early stages of development. Malicious AI attacks could have "devastating" consequences. AI systems can be used to generate malicious code for hacking into devices or to write fake messages for spreading misinformation on social media. This article continues to discuss AI security risks and the importance of building cybersecurity into AI systems.
