AI Accuracy

The new autumn season of TDL webinars began with a look at the questions surrounding AI accuracy, and the extent to which it is a help or a hindrance in managing cybersecurity.

Numerous examples of AI “hallucinations” are posted every day, ranging from humorous to concerning. With most cybersecurity players now using LLM based AI and AI agents, the issue of accuracy becomes increasingly important. But its importance hasn’t made the issue clearly defined. The panel shared views on several aspects of AI accuracy:

• Is AI accuracy clearly measurable?
• Do these metrics need to be standardised?
• In which ways is AI accuracy relevant to security and privacy threats?
• Can perceived accuracy (by users) lead to additional subtle security and privacy attacks?

The event was moderated by TDL Strategic Advisor, Claire Vishik. The expert speakers included:

• John Baras, Distinguished University Professor and endowed Lockheed Martin Chair in Systems Engineering, University of Maryland
• Lorenzo Cavallaro, Professor, Computer Science, University College London
• Melvin Greer, SVP & Chief Data Scientist, TechElevate Innovation Labs
• Cory Robinson, Private consultant in data governance, privacy, data ethics & AI ethics
