Humans in AI: The necessity for human-in-the-loop (HILT)

A deliberate approach is essential for AI to be net positive, and that human-in-the-loop (HILT), and its natural successor reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF), are essential components of this. What is HILT?   To understand HILT, we must first understand machine learning. Machine learning is when the computer is able to learn from data. LLM (large language model) chatbots are made possible by machine learning. A concrete and easy to understand example of machine…

Navigating political polarization in the workplace

In this episode of The Security Podcasts featuring Scott McHugh, retired CSO at LyondellBasell Chemical Company and Faculty at Rice University, we discuss the challenges security leaders face when navigating political polarization in the workplace. “This is actually not a new phenomenon,” Scott McHugh says. “It really started in the late ’90s, in the Clinton administration, and it’s just been manifesting itself through the years ever since then. And it’s become much more of a…

An intelligent application future hinges on using responsible AI

As enthusiasm for AI builds and regulation gains momentum, investing in “doing generative AI” responsibly and ethically is not just the right thing to do — it will give companies a competitive advantage. Responsible AI helps mitigate operational, financial and competitive risks. Plus, data shows that companies leveraging responsible AI practices may be better positioned to attract and retain talent.  Unfortunately, there’s no industry standard for what responsible AI should look like. Stanford researchers found…

Automating a more resilient supply chain

As technology evolves, manufactures can leverage new tools to reduce costs while improving accuracy, visibility and customer satisfaction. Emerging technologies such as Internet of Things (IoT) and artificial intelligence (AI) can increase efficiencies for manufactures. At the same time, this increase in technology may create openings for cyberattacks on the supply chain as well as critical infrastructure.  Here, we talk with Scott Reynolds, the President-Elect at International Society of Automation.  Security magazine: Tell us about your title…

Security isn’t convenient, and that’s a big problem in the age of AI

Security isn’t convenient. For most of us, traditional cybersecurity protocols like CAPTCHAs, two-factor authentication and passwords can feel like barriers that stand in the way of productivity. Whether that’s making a purchase, accessing workplace data or trying to log into an app that you were inadvertently kicked out of — we want what we want, we want it now and we often want it at the expense of our own data security and privacy. In…

Are AI data poisoning attacks the new software supply chain attack?

With rapid AI adoption happening across varying business units, maintaining the integrity of those systems — and preventing AI data poisoning attacks — is a growing concern. But how do these attacks occur, and why should businesses be worried?  Much of it has to do with third-party access to business systems and data. In Venafi’s 2023 State of Cloud Native Security Report, 75% of security professionals stated their software supply chain presents their biggest security…

How to fix the growing cybersecurity skills gap

Cyber and ransomware threats are growing at a rapid rate, critically endangering organizations’ sensitive data. In 2023, the global average cost of a data breach reached USD 4.45 million, a 15% increase over 3 years — predicted to reach $9.5 trillion USD in 2024. What’s more, organizations are now facing highly intelligent, AI-powered threats – including advanced phishing attacks, deep fakes, and fraudulent phone calls — that are increasingly challenging to identify and respond to….
