The ways AI can fail you

The ways AI can fail you

- [Instructor] After seeing the power and potential of AI for security, it's natural to build an impression that AI is perfect for every problem. But the truth is that AI is not the panacea for all your security problems. In fact, if anything, it is a double-edged sword which if not handled carefully, can lead to poor judgment, and even worse be the reason you could get compromised. In this chapter, I want to share with you three ways artificial intelligence can fail you. First, due to the inherent weaknesses in AI's machine learning algorithms and its dependencies. Second, due to the abuse against your own AI systems by a malicious actor. And lastly, due to an attack by malicious actors who themselves leverage AI regardless of whether you are using AI or not. Now, let's look at each of these three ways, one by one.
