DARPA tells AI world: Make a model that secures software, there's $20M in it for you

"When people hear security and AI, all the synapses start firing, but this is not focused on 'is the model secure,' but 'let's assume that we have this amazing tool called AI, now how do we apply it across broad amounts of software'," Omkhar Arasaratnam, OpenSSF's general manager, told us.

AI was a running theme today. Another Black Hat keynote speaker, Maria Markstedter, founder of Arm code specialist Azeria Labs,the future, in terms of securing machine-learning technologies, was looking uncertain due to two factors: the industry's desire to move fast and break things, and a lack of internal technical details for security professionals to work with.

"The corporate AI arms race has begun," Markstedter opined."At the forefront of this is, of course, Microsoft." as saying it would be an"absolutely fatal error in this moment to worry about things that can be fixed later." Anyone who has applied Windows patches will know this all too well.Let's hope that ML doesn't start off as smartphones did. Markstedter said early models ran everything with root access, they were riddled with critical bugs, had very little in the way of remediation, and there was no sandboxing of data.
