SecPod's Foray into AI Risk Management
The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into various facets of our lives has become inevitable. However, with the benefits of AI come significant challenges, and the world is waking up to the realization that AI risk is not just a theoretical concern — it is a global emergency.
It is important to differentiate between “Responsible AI” and “Safe AI”. While the terms are often used interchangeably, it is crucial to understand the subtle yet significant differences between them. Responsible AI pertains to the ethical and moral considerations surrounding AI systems, focusing on their impact on society, inclusivity, and fairness. On the other hand, Safe AI is more concerned with the safety and security aspects, addressing the potential risks and threats associated with the deployment of AI systems. AI builders claim adherence to Responsible AI, however, that cannot be an assurance for AI users that deploy AI system is safe.
AI risks manifest primarily as safety or security problems. Safety issues involve unintended consequences or errors in the functioning of AI systems that can lead to harm. Security problems, on the other hand, involve intentional misuse, cyberattacks, or breaches that compromise the integrity of AI systems. Recognizing and addressing these risks are imperative to ensure the responsible and safe deployment of AI technologies.
One of the inherent challenges in managing AI risks is the opacity of the decision-making processes within AI systems. AI operates as a “black box,” making it challenging for users to understand how a decision is made. This lack of transparency raises concerns about accountability, ethical considerations, and the potential for biased outcomes or even an orchestrated outcome. Effectively managing AI risks requires overcoming the hurdle of the black box dilemma.
In response to the urgent need for effective AI risk management, SecPod is taking a proactive step to develop frameworks and tools designed to address the complexities associated with AI risks.
Automating AI Risk Management
One of the intriguing questions in the field of AI risk management is whether it can be automated. While complete automation might be challenging given the unpredictable nature of AI systems, SecPod’s efforts are directed towards creating tools that automate certain aspects of AI risk management, enhancing efficiency and responsiveness to emerging threats.
