Ram Shankar Siva Kumar & Hyrum Anderson
May 1, 2023 @ 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm
FreeIn Not With A Bug, But With A Sticker (Wiley), adversarial machine learning researchers Ram Shankar Siva Kumar and Hyrum Anderson deliver a riveting account of the most significant risk to artificial intelligence systems: cybersecurity threats. The authors take you on a sweeping tour — from inside secretive government organizations to academic workshops at ski chalets to Google’s cafeteria — recounting how major AI systems remain vulnerable to the exploits of bad actors of all stripes. Siva Kumar and Anderson outline the different ways any AI system — from Alexa to Tesla — can be manipulated by adversaries. Their book is aimed at a general audience, and, in playful language and anecdotes, attempts to answer a multitude of questions: How to subvert these AI systems? What are nations and organizations doing about this? Do you have to worry about these attacks? What’s all of this got to do with a gifted French high schooler? Or Google’s free food? A panda? Or, a sticker? The authors are donating the proceeds from this book to two charities: Black in AI and Bountiful Children’s Foundation.
