description: "Poking AI in the Eye:  A Practical Intro to Adversarial AI
Artificial intelligence (AI) systems are becoming ubiquitous in our daily lives, but how secure are they? In this presentation, I will introduce the audience to some of the techniques used by hackers and researchers to attack AI systems, such as data poisoning, model stealing, and prompt injection. I will also demonstrate some of these attacks live.

The presentation will be interactive and engaging, with a few light challenges for those audience members who want to try their hands at breaking AI (from the comfort of your mobile phone). I will also highlight some real-world case studies of successful attacks. Whether you are an AI enthusiast, a security professional, or just curious about how AI fails, this presentation will give you a practical and fun introduction to the fascinating world of adversary AI techniques, along with ample resources to get you started with practicing these techniques legally.

Key Takeaways:
Major attack categories facing AI systems, and their potential impacts.
Real-world examples of successful attacks against AI systems.
Resources will be provided to allow hands-on activities after the presentation."
