Can Artificial Intelligence assist with cybersecurity management? | Womble Bond Dickinson – JDSupra – JD Supra

AI has great capability to bothharm and toprotect in a cybersecurity context. As with the development of any new technology, the benefits provided through correct and successful use of AI are inevitably coupled with the need to safeguard information and to prevent misuse.

ENISA published a set of reports earlier last year focused on AI and the mitigation of cybersecurity risks.Here we consider the main themes raised and provide our thoughts on how AI can be used advantageously*.

Using AI to bolster cybersecurity

In Womble Bond Dickinson's 2023 global data privacy law survey, half of respondents told us they were already using AI for everyday business activities ranging from data analytics to customer service assistance and product recommendations and more.However, alongside day-to-day tasks, AI's 'ability to detect and respond to cyber threats and the need to secure AI-based application'makes it a powerful tool to defend against cyber-attacks when utilized correctly.In one report, ENISA recommended a multi-layered framework which guides readers on the operational processes to be followed by coupling existing knowledge with best practices to identify missing elements. The step-by-step approach for good practice looks to ensure the trustworthiness of cybersecurity systems.

Utilizing machine-learning algorithms, AI is able to detect both known and unknown threats in real time, continuously learning and scanning for potential threats. Cybersecurity software which does not utilize AI can only detect known malicious codes, making it insufficient against more sophisticated threats. By analyzing the behavior of malware, AI can pin-point specific anomalies that standard cybersecurity programs may overlook. Deep-learning based programNeuFuzz is considered a highly favorable platform for vulnerability searches in comparison to standard machine learning AI, demonstrating the rapidly evolving nature of AI itself and the products offered.

A key recommendation is that AI systems should be used as an additional element to existing ICT, security systems and practices. Businesses must be aware of the continuous responsibility to have effective risk management in place with AI assisting alongside for further mitigation. The reports do not set new standards or legislative perimeters but instead emphasize the need for targeted guidelines, best practices and foundations which help cybersecurity and in turn, the trustworthiness of AI as a tool.

Amongst other factors, cybersecurity management should consider accountability, accuracy, privacy, resiliency, safety and transparency. It is not enough to rely on traditional cybersecurity software especially where AI can be readily implemented for prevention, detection and mitigation of threats such as spam, intrusion and malware detection. Traditional models do exist, but as ENISA highlights they are usually designed to target or 'address specific types of attack' which, 'makes it increasingly difficult for users to determine which are most appropriate for them to adopt/implement.'The report highlights that businesses need to have a pre-existing foundation of cybersecurity processes which AI can work alongside to reveal additional vulnerabilities. A collaborative network of traditional methods and new AI based recommendations allow businesses to be best prepared against the ever-developing nature of malware and technology based threats.

In the US in October 2023, the Biden administration issued an executive order with significant data security implications. Amongst other things, the executive order requires that developers of the most powerful AI systems share safety test results with the US government, that the government will prepare guidance for content authentication and watermarking to clearly label AI-generated content and that the administration will establish an advanced cybersecurity program to develop AI tools and fix vulnerabilities in critical AI models. This order is the latest in a series of AI regulations designed to make models developed in the US more trustworthy and secure.

Implementing security by design

A security by design approach centers efforts around security protocols from the basic building blocks of IT infrastructure. Privacy-enhancing technologies, including AI, assist security by design structures and effectively allow businesses to integrate necessary safeguards for the protection of data and processing activity, but should not be considered as a 'silver bullet' to meet all requirements under data protection compliance.

This will be most effective for start-ups and businesses in the initial stages of developing or implementing their cybersecurity procedures, as conceiving a project built around security by design will take less effort than adding security to an existing one. However, we are seeing rapid growth in the number of businesses using AI. More than one in five of our survey respondents (22%), for instance, started to use AI in the past year alone.

However, existing structures should not be overlooked and the addition of AI into current cybersecurity system should improve functionality, processing and performance. This is evidenced by AI's capability to analyze huge amounts of data at speed to provide a clear, granular assessment of key performance metrics. This high-level, high-speed analysis allows businesses to offer tailored products and improved accessibility, resulting in a smoother retail experience for consumers.

Risks

Despite the benefits, AI is by no-means a perfect solution. Machine-learning AI will act on what it has been told under its programming, leaving the potential for its results to reflect an unconscious bias in its interpretation of data. It is also important that businesses comply with regulations (where applicable) such as the EU GDPR, Data Protection Act 2018, the anticipated Artificial Intelligence Act and general consumer duty principles.

Cost benefits

Alongside reducing the cost of reputational damage from cybersecurity incidents, it is estimated that UK businesses who use some form of AI in their cybersecurity management reduced costs related to data breaches by 1.6m on average.Using AI or automated responses within cybersecurity systems was also found to have shortened the average breach lifecycle by 108 days, saving time, cost and significant business resource. Further development of penetration testing tools which specifically focus on AI is required to explore vulnerabilities and assess behaviors, which is particularly important where personal data is involved as a company's integrity and confidentiality is at risk.

Moving forward

AI can be used to our advantage but it should not been seen to entirely replace existing or traditional models to manage cybersecurity. While AI is an excellent long-term assistant to save users time and money, it cannot be relied upon alone to make decisions directly. In this transitional period from more traditional systems, it is important to have a secure IT foundation. As WBD suggests in our 2023 report, having established governance frameworks and controls for the use of AI tools is critical for data protection compliance and an effective cybersecurity framework.

Despite suggestions that AI's reputation is degrading, it is a powerful and evolving tool which could not only improve your business' approach to cybersecurity and privacy but with an analysis of data, could help to consider behaviors and predict trends. The use of AI should be exercised with caution, but if done correctly could have immeasurable benefits.

Predian goes out on its own to ‘transform’ inventory management with AI/ML – Auto Remarketing

A new spinoff company is entering the inventory management space, powered by artificial intelligence and machine learning technology.

An inventory management system that was formerly a division of Redline Automotive Merchandising is now a standalone business with a new name Predian supporting automotive dealerships and several lot service companies directly, offering predictive analytics and data mining through AI and ML.

In a news release announcing its launch, Predian said it is set to transform how dealers manage their inventory, leading to higher profits and significantly reducing time to sales.

The new company said it already serves more than 1,000 franchise dealers and it plans to turbocharge its innovation focus on inventory management while maintaining its current level of service.

Artificial intelligence and machine learning will revolutionize how dealers manage their inventory, CEO Mike McGlade said. With Predian, dealers can dive into their inventory data to make better decisions and ensure they move vehicles quickly and profitably.

Our goal was to make an easy-to-use solution that gives dealers access to every possible data point to make the right decisions for their dealership. Its all about the data.

The company said its AI/ML system powers:

Merchandising: Includes AI-guided photo capture and background removal, as well as AI-created VIN descriptions designed to ensure high-quality, consistent and compelling content on all inventory.

Predictive analytics: Enables dealers to make decisions based on what the market will look like in the future, using advanced data modeling and machine learning to provide forward-looking guidance based on the vehicles VIN. Predian said its ValueVision will use predictive analytics to show a dealer what the retail price will be 30, 60 and 90 days out and incorporate that data into the inventory management strategy and pricing, while SmartTurn is designed to estimate turn time based on the set market price.

Business intelligence: Designed to offer dealers the unlimited ability to combine and compare data based on the key drivers of the dealerships performance.

Predians leadership team includes head of product development Merritt Critcher, whose long experience in inventory management includes roles with Dealertrack, DealerSocket and Solera; and chief revenue officer Stephen Batten, who has served with Redline, Impel, Experian and Reynolds and Reynolds. CEO McGlade had been Redlines CEO since 2019.

Creative new flavors of medical AI | Healthcare AI newsmakers – AI in Healthcare

Many people who rely on power wheelchairs to get around will soon let onboard AI negotiate obstacles, adjust speeds and avoid collisions. The algorithmic assistance will pair with millimeter-wave radar and continuous camera data for additional functionality.

Thats all thanks to clinical researchers at Northwestern Universitys Feinberg School of Medicine and their commercial collaborators in the assistive technology industry.

The advance is one of four healthcare AI innovations under development at the Chicago institution and described in the winter edition of Northwestern Magazine.

Heres a summary of each.

1. Building a better means of assistive mobility. Joystick controls are effectively out of reach for more than 15% of the 500,000 Americans using power wheelchairs. Its mainly for them that Brenna Argall, PhD, is working with LUCI Mobility Inc. to smarten up power wheelchairs with AI. Make that mainly but not exclusively, says Argall, an engineer and roboticist at Northwesterns McCormick School of Engineering and an associate professor of physical medicine and rehabilitation at Feinberg. In her words:

A lot of this technology would be helpful for any wheelchair user, just as driver-assist technologies on todays cars are helpful even if you already know how to drive. Even for wheelchair users who dont have severe motor impairments, this technology could still increase their access to the world.

2. Reducing stress during pregnancy. Pointing out that, in the absence of concerted support, prenatal anxiety can bring on complications for mother as well as child, the magazine spotlights a Northwestern team led by Feinberg associate professor of preventive medicine Nabil Alshurafa, PhD. The team is combining an AI algorithm with wearables and digital surveys to gauge and alleviate stress in mothers-to-be. Team member Maia Jacobs, PhD, an assistant professor of preventive medicine at Feinberg and of computer science at McCormick, says:

We have the tools to address stress in the moment. This new algorithm gives us a way to not only provide an intervention when a person is in the throes of stress but also to look for ways to reduce stress across the pregnancy.

3. Personalizing precision care for heart patients. Northwestern cardiologist Sanjiv J. Shah, MD, and colleagues are using machine learning to uncover patterns in diagnostic data that are indicative of heart muscle stiffening due to heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). What weve done in HFpEF is applicable to so many medical conditions: diabetes, schizophrenia, depression, hypertension, you name it, says Shah. More:

There are a lot of skeptics of precision medicinethe right treatment for the right patient at the right time. But Im a believer. With the AI technologies we have today, we can identify subtypes within broad constructs of diseases, and that knowledge can be harnessed to create tailored treatments.

4. Improving autism diagnostics. Molly Losh, PhD, professor of learning disabilities and associate dean for research:

Across prosodic speech features, some people with autism show sing-songy patterns while others might be monotone, and others might have completely different speech patterns. Machine learning has the potential to pull out those fine-tuned differences and really help us understand them.

The feature article was reported by Clare Milliken, a senior writer at the magazine. It includes input from Abel Kho, MD, director of Northwesterns Institute for Artificial Intelligence in Medicine. Read the full piece.

Machine Learning in Business: 5 things a Data Science course won’t teach you – Towards Data Science

The author shares some important aspects of Applied Machine Learning that can be overlooked in formal Data Science education.

If you feel that I used a clickbaity title for this article, Id agree with you but hear me out! I have managed multiple junior data scientists over the years and in the last few years I have been teaching an applied Data Science course to Masters and PhD students. Most of them have great technical skills but when it comes to applying Machine Learning to real-world business problems, I realized there were some gaps.

Below are the 5 elements that I wish data scientists were more aware of in a business context:

Im hoping that reading this will be helpful to junior and mid-level data scientists to grow their career!

In this piece, I will focus on a scenario where data scientists are tasked with deploying machine learning models to predict customer behavior. Its worth noting that the insights can be applicable to scenarios involving product or sensor behaviors as well.

Lets start with the most critical of all: the What that you are trying to predict. All subsequent steps data cleaning, preprocessing, algorithm, feature engineering, hyperparameters optimization become futile unless you are focusing on the right target.

In order to be actionable, the target must represent a behavior, not a data point.

Ideally, your model aligns with a business use case, where actions or decisions will be based on its output. By making sure the target you are using is a good representation of a customer behavior, it is easy for the business to understand and utilize these models outputs.

Machine Learning and Mathematics: A Collaborative Future – BNN Breaking

Machine Learning Meets Mathematics: A Symbiotic Evolution

Mathematicians worldwide are increasingly harnessing the power of machine learning tools to untangle intricate mathematical problems. The recent Mathematics and Machine Learning 2023 conference, organized at Caltech by Professor Sergei Gukov, serves as a testament to this burgeoning collaboration between data scientists and mathematicians.

Machine learning, a branch of artificial intelligence, is a whiz at recognizing patterns and analyzing complex issues, making it an invaluable ally in the world of mathematics. Its capable of providing insights into daunting mathematical conundrums like the Riemann hypothesis and the smooth Poincar conjecture. Gukov and his team have been pioneering in this area, applying machine learning to unravel the mysteries of ribbon knotsa property intrinsically linked to the smooth Poincar conjecture.

But the relationship between mathematics and machine learning isnt one-way. Mathematics also brings fresh, innovative ideas to the table in the development of the algorithms that fuel AI tools. This symbiosis was one of the focal points of the Mathematics and Machine Learning 2023 conference, supported by the Richard N. Merkin Center for Pure and Applied Mathematics at Caltech.

Yi Ni, a fellow professor at Caltech, highlights the potential of machine learning to forge new connections within mathematics. However, he also underlines the essential role of mathematicians to properly frame problems for computational examination.

The conference also emphasized the need to shift away from the black box approach to machine learning. Mathematically informed perspectives have the potential to increase transparency and understanding of machine learning algorithms, which could lead to more reliable and interpretable models.

Using Machine Learning to Accelerate Drug Discovery – The Medicine Maker

Machine learning (ML) approaches are enhancing the efficiency and success rate of chemical space exploration in drug discovery, but from our perspective, the most successful programs will also play to human strengths.

Although not a stand-alone drug discovery approach, because it relies on experimentally generated data, ML can augment existing drug discovery approaches, such as high-throughput screening, virtual screening, DNA-encoded chemical libraries and fragment- and structure-based methods. When it is implemented strategically, the results are clear. For example, Verge GenomicsVRG50635 is in phase I clinical trials for the treatment of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and Insilico MedicinesINS018_055 is in Phase II clinical trials for the treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. Both were uncovered by AI-driven drug discovery.

But with all the recent excitement around ML, it is important to emphasize that the human factor should not be eliminated from the iterative design of compounds, data curation or benchmarking. A chemist should always have the final say in the prioritization of ML-generated compounds, so that the focus on progressing high-quality chemical matter can be maintained as our computational capabilities evolve. We remain responsible for supplying high-quality data and exercising scientific rigour when drawing conclusions from our experiments.

One inherent advantage of human expertise is our capacity to think critically and consider problems in a broad context. The best ML models might pass aTuring test, but will generally be less accurate in extrapolating beyond the corpus of data on which they were trained. On the other hand, ML models are better suited to comprehend and leverage complex relationships within large datasets holistically than a human brain.

The need for general awareness regarding the distinct advantages humans and machines offer is important, but so is the need for robust processes for both parties to exchange information with each other. The responsibility falls to us in both cases. We must tailor our descriptions of molecules to the ML models to incorporate as much context as possible. We are also responsible for querying the ML models and predictions for relevant information and interpreting it sensibly in our decision making.

With the abundance of data at medicinal chemists fingertips, rational design decisions have become more difficult. The breadth of chemical space we can access is expanding exponentially faster than we can design, make, test, and analyze chemical libraries, so our intuition regarding the opportunity cost of each new library is now less clear than before.

We can mitigate this by leveraging domain knowledge and computational tools, including ML, to inform and prioritize focused library designs according to an objective (e.g. maximizing diversity relative to an existing library deck, or modulating a particular biological target class).

Diversity itself is not a well-defined term and, therefore, difficult to measure, even in a relative sense. The underlying motivation behind a focus on diverse library designs is to cast a wide net into chemical space and then delve into promising chemotypes, which inherently assumes thesimilarity principle. But as with many rules, there are exceptions (activity cliffs are one example). Furthermore, each chemical representation and similarity score has its own merits and limitations, but none are universally reliable in the measurement of similar bioactivity. So, by extension, none are universally reliable in measuring library diversity in a relevant context, either.

The development ofmolecular representations which localize bioactive compounds in chemical space and similarity metrics which are consistent with medicinal chemists intuition are expected to have a positive impact in addressing these concerns.

Using ML, predictions about the safety and efficacy of promising chemical matter can be made at the design stage rather than the analyze stage. The predictive power of the current state of the art is continuously improving, so the value offered by these early-stage predictions continues to increase. Substructure filters can be particularly helpful to weed out molecules that can potentially cause in vivo toxicity, instability, assay interference or synthesis challenges.

It is also important to remember that ML does not replace experimental measurement of endpoints related to safety and efficacy. It could be used to provide estimates beforehand, but the measurements themselves will (and should) always be part of the approval process. If ML is deployed complementarily to other drug discovery approaches, it can discover chemical matter that would not have been found by those other approaches, so we expect it to have a positive impact on the safety and efficacy of future drug candidates overall.

Current innovations are likely to have a profound impact on the discovery of future therapeutics. For example, improved assessment of the synthesizability of ML-generated compounds can enable drug-likeness estimates, retrosynthesis prediction and generative compound design. The latter is not yet as mature as predictive modeling approaches, but we anticipate that its impact will grow over time.

We can also leverage explainable AI approaches to query the ML models for which information they found to be most influential in making their predictions. Peering into the black box helps us understand the models perspective on the underlying chemistry, which can reveal new insights, such as the putative pharmacophore within each molecule. Confidence estimates are also helpful in assessing how sure the model is about each prediction, so we know which ones to take with bigger proverbial grains of salt.

We would like to emphasize a common sentiment in the ML community: the practice of sharing datasets and code for any public communications describing nonproprietary advances is not only encouraged, it is of the utmost importance. The ability to reproduce results is critical to the scientific method, and the transparency and accountability that stems from that facilitates our advancement as a community.

Data validity should also be checked and communicated consistently. Unfortunately, many datasets in the public domain, such as patents, are of low quality. To avoid propagating that pattern, dataset preparation and any processing steps should be documented wherever possible.

The standardization of benchmark datasets for common ML use cases remains crucial as well. These already exist for certain use cases, such as theTherapeutic Data Commons (TDC) forabsorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and toxicity (ADMET) prediction, and theOpen Reaction Database (ORD) for reactivity prediction. We hope that this trend continues.

Overall, there is a great deal of hype in the scientific community around AI and ML, which should only be perpetuated with appropriate care and diligence. Its an exciting time for the community, and we should celebrate advances where we can. Equally, we should not lose focus on the concrete value offered by AI and ML in the broader context of drug discovery, which is driven by, and for, people.

The task at hand for drug researchers is striking the right balance between AI/ML and human intervention. The most successful drug discovery programs will play to the strengths of both, for the benefit of all.
