Phishing in the age of Skynet: cybersecurity and the threat of machine learning

    Research output: Contribution to conferenceOther

    Abstract

    Over the past decade, machine learning has gone from niche curiosity to dominating every aspect of our lives. It helps us navigate, translate, and communicate. It helps us connect with others, be entertained, and remain productive. But while swept up in the hype, it can be easy to overlook the increasing risk that such systems pose - especially for cybersecurity.

    This talks looks at the ways machine learning has gradually crept into our lives and how these systems are likely to, and in some cases are, completely reshaping the threat landscape - making it impossible to distinguish friend from foe.
