"Software Must Be Secure by Design, and Artificial Intelligence Is No Exception"

In discussions about Artificial Intelligence (AI), the functioning of an AI system is often shrouded in mystery. However, the truth is much simpler as AI is a software system. According to the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency's (CISA) Christine Lai, AI Security Lead, and Dr. Jonathan Spring, like any software system, AI must be designed with security in mind, thus requiring AI system manufacturers to consider customer security as a fundamental business requirement, not just a technical feature. They must also prioritize security throughout the entire product lifecycle. It also calls for AI systems to be secure out-of-the-box, requiring little to no configuration or additional cost. This article continues to discuss why AI is powerful, the importance of building AI software with security in mind, AI community risk management, and AI system assurance.
