Learn the Lingo: Data Poisoning

Data poisoning is the act of intentionally adding false or malicious data into an AI model’s training set to corrupt its learning process. These attacks allow attackers to influence or manipulate the model’s behavior, threatening the accuracy, integrity, and safety of AI symptoms.

Cyber Risks Include:

  • Degraded performance of the AI, including potential for errors, incorrect decision making, and the introduction of biases.

  • Creation of security backdoors for potential future attacks, such as allowing phishing and ransomware to bypass email spam filters.

Reduce risks by implementing data validation processes, employing anomaly detection, and performing regular audits of AI models.
