The Cyber Security Arms Race and How AI Is Changing the Battlefield The Cyber Security Arms Race and How AI is Changing the Battlefield Dr. Ben Apple A Brief History of AI • AI was founded as an academic discipline in 1956 • Dartmouth College, in Hanover, New Hampshire, the term "artificial intelligence" was coined. • From 1974 to 1980 is a time known as the winter of AI • Unfulfilled promises and waning government interest resulted in reduced funding • Around 1980 there was an AI boom • British government started funding AI to compete with efforts by the Japanese. • 1987 saw the second AI Winter • Stock market collapse blamed on expert system trading • From 1993 to 2011 new interest in AI • 1997, IBM's Deep Blue became the first computer to beat a chess champion • 2011 to present day – The age of Deep Learning, Big Data, and General AI • 2011, Watson won Jeopardy by beating out the reigning champions • ChatBot beats the Turing Test • AlphaGo seen by many as the new dawn of AI • 2015 AlphaGo to beats a human Go master • 2016 AlphaGo beats Lee Sedol one of the top 5 Go masters in the world • 2017 AlphaGo beats Ke Jie the worlds number 1 Go master and is awarded the level of 9-Dan AI Under Attack • AI is not a Panacea • AI Cannot be eft to its own devices • The use of AI in Cyber Security requires a Hybrid Approach • AI will free our high value assets from the mundane • AI provides the predictive insight needed to head-off attacks before they occur The Emergence of AI in Cyber SEcurity • Machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) are being applied more broadly across industries and governments. • This means new exploits and weaknesses can quickly be identified and analyzed to help mitigate further attacks. • If trained by the best AI can become the best. The Future Face of the Cyber Security Profession • The growing capabilities of artificial intelligence are triggering a battle across the cyber security fence – and organizations must act now to be on the right side of it. • Not only must organizations invest in preventative AI, but the government, at all levels, must continue to back the development of the next generation of technology professionals. • If we are going to be able to protect the crown jewels, we must invest in the cadre of future Cyber Security professionals, the adversaries are certainly investing in their cadre. • The need for a cyber security overhaul is necessary as the traditional practcises are no longer effective in identifying and preventing attacks. The Attackers Will Up Their AI Game • Software and Systems ae Complex, it is very near impossible to identify all vulnerabilities prior to release, creating a target rich environment for AI powered attackers. • The attackers are using AI to scan the Internet looking for possible targets • Then there is the weakest link in the chain, the human. • AI is being used to emulate human behaviors in phishing attacks. Insider Threat • AI is being effectively used to detect anomalous user behavior. • AI is well suited for tasks such as Sentiment Analyses, to identify possible disgruntled employees. We still need a human to make the actual judgement call. The Skills Gap • Centre for Cyber Safety and Education revealing that the world will face a shortfall of 1.8 million cyber security professionals by 2022. • AI can release these scarce resources from the mundane. • Preventive and Predictive AI will enhance the delivered value of the Cyber Seurity Professional. The Future • Recognize what machines do best and what people do best. • Use AI to do the repetitive, such as first pass log review. • Cyber Security Professionals use their minds to develop creative solutions to the hard problems. • AI acts as the inference engine that feeds the Cyber Security Decision makers. • AI will keep us the defenders ahead of the adversary, the attackers.

  • Computer Wins Second GAME Against Chinese GO Champion
    TECHNOLOGY SATURDAY, MAY 27, 2017 Samsung investigating Galaxy S8 ‘iris hack’ SEOUL: Samsung Electronics is investigating claims by a German hacking group that it fooled the iris recognition system of the new flagship Galaxy S8 device, the firm said yesterday. The launch of the Galaxy S8 was a key step for the world’s largest smartphone maker as it sought to move on from last year’s humiliating withdrawal of the fire-prone Galaxy Note 7s, which hammered the firm’s once-stellar reputation. But a video posted by the Chaos Computer Club (CCC), a German hacking group founded in 1981, shows the Galaxy S8 being unlocked using a printed photo of the owner’s eye covered with a contact lens to replicate the curvature of a real eyeball. “A high- resolution picture from the internet is sufficient to cap- ture an iris,” CCC spokesman Dirk Engling said, adding: “Ironically, we got the best results with laser printers made by Samsung.” A Samsung spokeswoman said it was aware of the report and was investigating. The iris scanning technolo- gy was “developed through rigorous testing”, the firm said in a statement as it sought to reassure customers. “If there is a potential vulnerability or the advent of a new method that challenges our efforts to ensure security at WUZHEN: Chinese Go player Ke Jie, left, looks at the board as a person makes a move on behalf of Google’s artificial any time, we will respond as quickly as possible to resolve intelligence program, AlphaGo, during a game of Go at the Future of Go Summit in Wuzhen in eastern China’s Zhejiang the issue.” Samsung’s hopes of competing against archri- Province.

Name: Yue Zheng Abstract Reinforcement learning has exceeded human-level performance in game playing AI with deep learning methods according to the experiments from DeepMind on Go and Atari games. Deep learning solves high dimension input problems which stop the development of reinforcement for many years. This study uses both two techniques to create several agents with different algorithms that successfully learn to play T-rex Runner. Deep Q network algorithm and three types of improvements are implemented to train the agent. The results from some of them are far from satisfactory but others are better than human experts. Batch normalization is a method to solve internal covariate shift problems in deep neural network. The positive influence of this on reinforcement learning has also been proved in this study. ii Acknowledgement I would like to express many thanks to my supervisor, Prof.

  • AI Beats Go Master, but Google Still Can't Come To
    AI beats Go master, but Google still can’t Come to China 24 May 2017 at 18:56 Demis Hassabis, co-founder of Google's artificial intelligence (AI) startup DeepMind speaks during the AI forum of the Future of Go summit at Wuzhen internet international conference and exhibition centre in Wuzhen, China's Zhejiang province, 24 May 2017. (EPA photo) BEIJING -- A Google artificial intelligence programme defeated a Chinese grand master at the ancient board game Go on Tuesday, a major feather in the cap for the firm's AI ambitions as it looks to woo Beijing to gain re-entry into the country. In the first of three planned games in the eastern water town of Wuzhen, the AlphaGo program held off China's world number one Ke Jie in front of Chinese officials and Google parent Alphabet's chief executive Eric Schmidt. The victory over the world's top player - which many thought would take decades to achieve - underlines the potential of artificial intelligence to take on humans at complex tasks. Wooing Beijing may be less simple. The game streamed live on Google-owned YouTube, while executives from the DeepMind unit that developed the programme sent out updates live on Twitter. Both are blocked by China, as is Google search. Google pulled its search engine from China seven years ago after it refused to self-censor internet searches, a requirement of Beijing. Since then it has been inaccessible behind the country's nationwide firewall. The ceremonial game - the second time AlphaGo has gone head-to-head with a master Go player in a public showdown - represents a major bridge-building exercise for Google in China, following a charm offensive in recent years.

    Google's AlphaGo retires on top after humbling world No. 1 27 May 2017 Technologies, the London-based AI company that developed AlphaGo and which Google acquired in 2014. In a blog post, DeepMind founder Demis Hassabis said AlphaGo's developers will turn to "the next set of grand challenges, developing advanced general algorithms that could one day help scientists as they tackle some of our most complex problems". These could include "finding new cures for diseases, dramatically reducing energy consumption, or inventing revolutionary new materials," he said. "If AI systems prove they are able to unearth AlphaGo defeated brash 19-year-old world number one Ke Jie of China on Saturday to sweep a three-game significant new knowledge and strategies in these series that was closely watched as a measure of how far domains too, the breakthroughs could be truly artificial intelligence (AI) has come remarkable.

February 22, 2016 (Seoul, South Korea) — Following breakthrough research on AlphaGo, the first ​ ​ ​ computer program to beat a professional human Go player, Google DeepMind has announced details of the ultimate challenge to play the legendary Lee Sedol — the top Go player in the world over the past ​ ​ decade. AlphaGo will play Lee Sedol in a five­game challenge match to be held from Wednesday, March 9 to Tuesday, March 15 in Seoul, South Korea. The games will be even (no handicap), with $1 million USD in prize money for the winner. If AlphaGo wins, the prize money will be donated to UNICEF, STEM and Go charities. Regarded as the outstanding grand challenge for artificial intelligence, Go has been viewed as one of ​ ​ the hardest games for computers to master due to its sheer complexity which makes brute­force exhaustive search intractable (for example there are more possible board configurations than the number of atoms in the universe). DeepMind released details of the breakthrough in a paper published in the scientific journal Nature last month. ​ ​ The matches will be held at the Four Seasons Hotel Seoul, starting at 1pm local time (4am GMT; day ​ ​ before 11pm ET, 8pm PT) on the following days: 1.
