Workshop: Exploiting AI with Ben Bowman
Overview
- Course Length: 4 hours
- Support from expert instructors
- Includes a certificate of completion
Welcome to introduction to exploiting AI with Ben Bowman. In this workshop, we’ll discuss the MITRE attack framework and inherent flaws with AI and security, attack vectors, and how to make sure you know how not to deploy or handle an AI.
This class will mostly be the offensive side of things with students getting to practice offensive techniques in a controlled environment as well as learning about tooling that exists to attack AI models. This should help students understand the risks of AI but will not teach any hands on defensive remediations, only discussion of how to potentially harden and remediate security issues.
