Fujitsu Laboratories Ltd. recently announced the development of a technology to make AI models more robust against deception attacks. The technology protects against attempts to use forged attack data to trick AI models into making a deliberate misjudgment when AI is used for sequential data consisting of multiple elements. With the use of AI technologies progressing in various fields in recent years, the risk of attacks that intentionally interfere with AI’s ability to make correct judgements represents a source of growing concern. Many suitable conventional security resistance enhancement technologies exist…
