摘要: Nowadays, as computing devices linked to the Internet become increasingly ubiquitous, our society has become more and more connected in the cyberspace. The connected computing devices have transformed people’s daily lives ranging from social networking, online banking towards smart manufacturing. On the other hand, our society’s overwhelming reliance on the complex cyberspace makes its security more important than ever. As cutting-edge artificial intelligence (AI) techniques keep reshaping our view of the world, the next cyber wars maybe decided by AI. In this talk, I will first introduce the conventional arms race between cyber attacks and defenses; then I will present the techniques we have proposed and developed against the evolving cyber attacks by advancing capabilities of AI. As cybersecurity co-evolves with AI technologies, essentially any AI technology can also raise problems of trustworthiness on a variety of computing systems and platforms. In this talk, I will further discuss the security and safety of AI-enabled systems to facilitate the design and development of next-generation cyber defense systems.
