Can You Trust Your Artificial Intelligence? Data Validation Risk Mitigation.

Cybersecurity is anything to do with digital risk. It is not exclusive to protecting systems from hackers and enemy bad actors. In terms of Artificial Intelligence and decision algorithms, two main cyber threats need to be mitigated:1. External Risk: This is what we think of when we hear cybersecurity. Hackers and bad actors are manipulating our systems.2. Intrinsic Risk: This is what we think of a lot less when discussing cyber security. This includes flawed engineering, legacy equipment, insufficient data, and what happens once external risk mitigation fails. Although it may be counterintuitive, the number one risk to deployed Artificial Intelligence systems is NOT bad actors and hackers, but the data the system depends on.
