Conference hosted by Avast and the Czech Technical University will look at the intersection of artificial intelligence and cybersecurity
Speakers and presenters from 11 nations are converging this week in Prague to explore the intersection of cybersecurity and artificial intelligence at the sold-out Cybersec & AI Prague conference.
The machine vs. machine battle of adversarial AI, described by Avast researchers as an “active arms race (that) makes AI in security particularly challenging,” will be a major theme. Speakers will also discuss cybersecurity in elections around the globe, and how to set foundations and principles for AI that borrow from the best traditions of computer science.
Student researchers will present their work in “poster sessions” featuring topics that include how people and computers can work together to find malware code hidden in images. Another group of student researchers is investigating how machine-learning tools age and whether that affects data – a very impressive and complex topic laid out on a poster illustrated with several dozen Pokemon characters.
While a major theme might be adversarial AI, the tone of the event is the opposite, said Rajarshi Gupta (pictured), Avast’s head of artificial intelligence, and a host of the event. “We organized this conference to bring together a community of security AI researchers who can make each other better by collaborating. It’s very exciting to see it happening.”
Thursday’s one-day conference will unfold at the DOX Centre for Contemporary Art, a stunning modern art museum of clean lines and industrial chic. A hundred years ago, the space was a high-tech center of its own era, where companies built locomotives and early aircraft.
