Measuring the Difference: Metric Development at NCCoE's Securing AI Testbed

1:10 P.M. - 2:00 P.M. (PDT)

AI-enabled technology is rapidly being adopted in nearly all industries. New attacks and defenses to AI are also growing. As a result, it can be hard to know how resilient these technologies are. Come see NCCoE’s Securing AI Testbed in action! This session will demonstrate measuring successful defenses against corresponding attacks and applying it to various hypothetical industry adoptions of AI-enabled technology.
