AI represents a major inflection point in the history of computing. Established paradigms for software and hardware are being upended by generative and agentic AI.  While AI represents much opportunity for businesses, governments, educational organizations, and a host of other entities, it also brings with it a tremendous amount of risk for society at-large. Just like the Internet forced a change in the tradecraft of hackers, so too does AI.  New AI attacks and countermeasures are coming out of the hacker community, along with inventive uses of the technology that any highlights how the creativity of hackers is at an all-time high. 

After this class, you should be able to:

• Understand emerging security risks associated with AI that are being uncovered by hackers
• See how hackers are working with AI technology to improve security
• Experience uncoventional uses of AI by hacking communities

The digital artifact for today is the adversarial example. 

Here is the slidedeck for today's class.
