Security measures must be built in as artificial intelligence is developed, Lindy Cameron says.
Cyber security must urgently be built into artificial intelligence systems, a top security official has told the BBC.
In the future, AI will play a part in many aspects of daily life in our homes and cities through to high-end national security and even fighting wars."As we become dependent on AI for really good things like delivery of food, autonomous vehicles, utilities or all sorts of things that AI will help to control in the future, attacks on those systems could be devastating," says Robert Hannigan, who used to run the UK's communication intelligence agency GCHQ.
What is particularly dangerous is the systems themselves can also be subverted by those seeking to do harm. "The systems are very brittle unfortunately", explains Lorenzo Cavallaro, a professor of computer science at University College London, "it is always a cat and mouse game".Take for example AI trained to recognise images. Researchers ran a test by placing stickers on a 'stop' road sign, which made the AI think it was a speed limit sign - something with potentially serious consequences for self-driving cars.
