An AI breach
typically
refers to a situation where an artificial intelligence system's
security is compromised or exploited in some way. This could occur due
to various factors:
Data Breach:
If sensitive data used or generated by the AI system is accessed or
stolen without authorization.
Manipulation of
Outputs: If the AI system's outputs are altered or manipulated
by unauthorized entities, leading to incorrect or biased decisions.
Model Tampering:
Unauthorized changes to the underlying machine learning models or
algorithms of the AI system, which could lead to incorrect predictions
or behaviors.
Privacy Violations:
AI systems often deal with personal or sensitive data. An AI breach
could involve unauthorized access to this data, violating privacy
regulations or compromising user confidentiality.
System Takeover:
In extreme cases, hackers might gain control of an AI system, using it
to perform malicious actions or to gain access to other systems.
Mitigating AI breaches involves robust security measures such as
encryption of data, secure model training and deployment processes,
continuous monitoring for unusual activities, and ensuring compliance
with data protection regulations.
