What is Cyber Security?
What is Cyber Security?
Cyber security
Is the information technology security, the protection of computer systems
Hardware
Software
Electronic data
Cyber security is the ability to protect or defend cyberspace from an attack
What is A.I. (Artificial intelligence)?
Artificial intelligence
Artificial intelligence, or machine intelligence:
Intelligence demonstrated by machines, in contrast to the natural intelligence displayed by human and animals.
AI + cyber security:
AI IT equipped infrastructure prevent threats and attacks to cyber security
AI will help automate detecting attacks and reacting to breaches
AI will help automate response to limit damages
AI will also help personnel to sleep at night!
IT outsourcing + AI:
Tougher
Flexible
Capable to defend emerging cyber attacks methods.
Vulnerabilities
Pioneers of the AI system have opened these codes to the public and communities to help improve their framework
Cyber security criminals can use these codes and AI to figure out measures of the cyber security and perform attacks to organizations and government vulnerabilities.
What is ML: “Machine Learning”?
Machine Learning
ML is a subset of AI:
The study of Algorithms and statistical models that a computer system use to effectively perform tasks without using instructions from human.
Using data to answer questions
For Example:
Pictures: Tagging people/ face recognition
Youtube: recommended videos
Google: Search engine
SWOT Analysis
Strengths
Threat detection speed increases
Eliminating a threat will become more efficient
AI will understand a threat more from exposure to outside information(Blogs/News).
Security can be compromised without power.
Possibility of getting hacked
Weaknesses
Can detect an attack before it gets to the network.
Less human intervention(increased productivity)
Errors will be greatly eliminated.
Machines learn from past mistakes so they can’t happen again
Algorithms and data can be manipulated.
Adversary could force AI to expose its own weakness
Opportunities
Threats
In relation to MGMT
AI and Cyber security are crucial to MGMT side,
AI functions as managers for organizations and governments to lead.
Also, manage and secure data with zero human effort
In relation to ORG
AI and cybersecurity also are crucial to ORG side,
AI and cyber security relates to the system process
Also, sequence in governments and the system process security
History of AI
1950 Alan Turing published “Computing Machinery and Intelligence” which opened the doors to the AI field without giving it its official name
Named by John McCarthy in 1956 when he held the first conference regarding the subject
1988 Chat-Bots were invented - the beginning of AI through human interaction
1997 Biometrics began their debut into real life and not just on TV
2009 marked the beginning of self-driving car research/production
The development of AI in security
Biometrics (scanning facial features and hand prints) commonly used for security measures
1997 first facial recognition machine invented in Germany
India is currently pushing their project “Aadhaar” which is a process of gathering fingerprint, retina, and palm IDs for everyone in the country to have everyone cataloged
Apple and Samsung use fingerprint ID for phones and other devices but are not the first to include biometric scanners in consumer devices
Sony, Dell, Fujitsu, HP, Toshiba, Acer, and others have all included fingerprint scanners in laptops at one time
Xbox One, from Microsoft, includes biometric data to identify users by voice as well as facial ID in order to sign you in to the console
Effects of AI, in workplace
Some jobs will be changed more than others
MIT predicts jobs won’t be wiped out, but rather reorganized to let machines to what they do better than humans
Ex. machines can do simple algorithms very well, but decision-making would be left to humans
AI devices can serve as personal assistants in the workplace
Customer support could be primarily be taken over by bots
Training could be done by machines after analyzing customer service calls and complaints and learning how to react to and fix certain problems
X.ai = system that acts as assistant to analyze schedules and work days to coordinate with other employees and easily fit everyone into each others schedules
Positives
Tedious tasks previously done by humans can be taken care of by machines (ex. Setting up meetings, sorting through emails, sending thank you’s, etc.)
Human error is eliminated
Efficiency increases
Production increases
Cost decreases since hiring humans is more expensive
Ease of use
Risks
There are many risks associated with the implementation of A.I. in our software.
CS: Anything involving Cybersecurity is already a risk, cs is a defence structure, therefore if it breaks, gets convoluted with errors, glitches, (in terms of machine learning)makes a calculated yet harmful decision etc… it will be a negative application of the tech, a risk.
GOV: Same logic applies to the government, it holds the utmost important data, A.I. as a tool can be harmful in the same ways
-Overall, A.I. is a new technology and it takes the human out of the decision making process of software, the implications for this technology are as large as the risks that follow.
Roles
What are the larger impacts caused by A.I.’s implementation in Cybersecurity and the Government?
CS: The main positive driving factor is the potential creation of new technologies,and of course efficiency and speed
GOV: The government has greatly invested and is using this technology in many ways:
-Efficiency & Speed increases in the many technologically advanced oriented agencies,: FDA, CIA, FBI, CENSUSBUREAU,NSA
“HR”
Human Resources, specifically as a department in the government will be impacted by A.I.
HR departments general activities are to work with people at many stages:
-Training
-Hiring
-Firing
In order to do this job they rely on data and technology, an area most affected by A.I.
-”Data takes a central position in this discussion”
-Truly, This discussion always goes back to efficiency and speed
Ethics
Most of the intellectual debate beyond the risks of A.I. are the ones about ethics:
-Machine learning, decision making
-Who decides what algorithm or code defines the A.I.’s logic
-Will jobs be impacted in the long run?
-Is chasing efficiency and speed worth the risks or even the bad events to come?
CSR
Corporate Social Responsibility: The perspective and vantage of this is from the government.
Although this is a very contextual slide, A.I.’s implementation has far reaching outputs, the environment, social society, workplace and marketplace will all be affected.
-The most prominent way A.I. affects the government in the terms of CSR is on ethics as described before, there are many questions about the correct philosophical approach in handling decision making, deep embedded technology such as A.I.
-Some questions worth asking:
A.I.’s impact on facial recognition technology? Increased and now almost precise surveillance? How far is too far, does this advanced technology limit or strengthen the government's powers?
Graduation +5
Global software system market size for artificial intelligence is expected to reach $78 Billion (from $2.65 billion in 2017)
Artificial intelligence becomes more efficient with faster reactions
Cyber-attacks get more complex as security improves
Software will not need training in order to work properly (AutoML)
Graduation +10
Artificial intelligence will be enhanced with the implementation of 5G.
AI will be widely implemented in different aspects of society
Distrust of data may increase as malicious software gets stronger to bypass AI Systems.
Overview/Summary
Artificial Intelligence is intelligence demonstrated by machines, in contrast to the natural intelligence displayed by humans and animals.
AI is one of the most revolutionary technological advancements we are experiencing today. It can take much effort and the need to be perfect out of human tasks, but can also be used against us in many different ways.
Artificial intelligence is crucial to both Management and Organization.
It can also benefit Human Resources, Cyber Security, and Government Agencies.
A lot is still unknown about the ethical effects AI will have on the implementation of production and sales.
