ETSI launches specification group on Securing Artificial Intelligence
ETSI has announced the creation of a new Industry Specification Group on Securing Artificial Intelligence (ISG SAI). The group will develop technical specifications to mitigate threats arising from the deployment of AI throughout multiple ICT-related industries. This includes threats to AI systems from both conventional sources and other AIs.
The intent of the ISG SAI is therefore to address 3 aspects of artificial intelligence in the standards domain:
- Securing AI from attack e.g. where AI is a component in the system that needs defending
- Mitigating against AI e.g. where AI is the ‘problem’ or is used to improve and enhance other more conventional attack vectors
- Using AI to enhance security measures against attack from other things e.g. AI is part of the ‘solution’ or is used to improve and enhance more conventional countermeasures.
The purpose of the ETSI ISG SAI is to develop the technical knowledge that acts as a baseline in ensuring that artificial intelligence is secure. Stakeholders impacted by the activity of ETSI’s group include end users, manufacturers, operators and governments.
