Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming our lives and the industry every day. AI is widely used in activities ranging from operating heavy machinery to performing complex medical diagnoses. To take full advantage of this revolution, different types of compute hardware have promised improved AI performance and efficiency (TPU, GPUs, FPGAs, Edge Systems, etc.). But are they secure? How can malicious hardware derail the AI models running on them? What have we learned from the hardware security domain in this context? In this panel, we will discuss these big questions with renowned panelists from diverse sectors (Government, Industry, and Academia).
