A hundred ways to wreck your AI - the (in)security of machine learning systems

Loading a pre-trained model can lead to remote code execution. Learn how the `pickle` format creates a massive security hole in your AI supply chain.

A hundred ways to wreck your AI - the (in)security of machine learning systems
#1about 4 minutes

The security risks of AI-generated code

AI systems can generate code quickly but may introduce vulnerabilities or rely on outdated practices, highlighting that all AI systems are fundamentally code and can be exploited.

#2about 5 minutes

Fundamental AI vulnerabilities and malicious misuse

AI systems are prone to classic failures like overfitting and can be maliciously manipulated through deepfakes, chatbot poisoning, and adversarial patterns.

#3about 1 minute

Exploring threat modeling frameworks for AI security

Several organizations like OWASP, NIST, and MITRE provide threat models and standards to help developers understand and mitigate AI security risks.

#4about 6 minutes

Deconstructing AI attacks from evasion to model stealing

Attack trees categorize novel threats like evasion with adversarial samples, data poisoning to create backdoors, and model stealing to replicate proprietary systems.

#5about 2 minutes

Demonstrating an adversarial attack on digit recognition

A live demonstration shows how pre-generated adversarial samples can trick a digit recognition model into misclassifying numbers as zero.

#6about 5 minutes

Analyzing supply chain and framework security risks

Security risks extend beyond the model to the supply chain, including backdoors in pre-trained models, insecure serialization formats like Pickle, and vulnerabilities in ML frameworks.

#7about 1 minute

Choosing secure alternatives to the Pickle model format

The HDF5 format is recommended as a safer, industry-standard alternative to Python's insecure Pickle format for serializing machine learning models.
