About the Speaker

As artificial intelligence (AI) becomes an integral part of our digital landscape, the looming threat of adversarial attacks casts a shadow over its immense potential. This workshop takes a deep dive into the evolving landscape of AI security and the relentless tactics employed by adversaries to exploit vulnerabilities. Attendees will gain insights into the strategies including OWASP LLM TOP 10 used by adversaries to manipulate, deceive, and compromise AI models. Moreover, there will be demos of adversarial AI attacks on POC applications. Demos covered include Fast Gradient Sign Method (FGSM), Prompt injection to Code execution, Poisoning Training Data, and Model Serialization Attacks. The session aims to equip attendees with a comprehensive understanding of the adversarial tactics prevalent in AI security and empower them to guard against the shadows that threaten AI systems.
