    Marin Ivezic Over the past two decades, I’ve closely observed advancements in AI and authored a book on its future. Early involvement in AI security research since the 2000s led me to recognize AI as a potentially unparalleled threat, notably in military contexts and AI-driven disinformation – my previous research projects. I’ve previously served as a Fortune Global 500 CISO, CTO, Big 4 partner, and leader at Accenture and IBM. Alongside my AI focus, I founded Applied Quantum, advising organizations on quantum opportunities and quantum threats. I regularly discuss AI and quantum risks with global governments and enterprises, which I explore further on my blogs, Securing.AI and PostQuantum.com. More about me.

          Why We Need a Chief AI Security Officer (CAISO)

          With AI’s breakneck expansion, the distinctions between ‘cybersecurity’ and ‘AI security’ are becoming increasingly pronounced. While both disciplines aim to safeguard digital assets, their focus and the challenges they address diverge in significant ways. Traditional cybersecurity is primarily about defending digital infrastructures from external threats, breaches, and unauthorized access. On the other hand, AI security has to address unique challenges…

          How Dynamic Data Masking Reinforces Machine Learning Security

          Data masking, also known as data obfuscation or data anonymization, serves as a crucial technique for ensuring data confidentiality and integrity, particularly in non-production environments like development, testing, and analytics. It operates by replacing actual sensitive data with a sanitized version, rendering the data ineffective for malicious exploitation while retaining its functional utility for testing or analysis.

          A (Very) Brief History of AI

          As early as the mid-19th century, Charles Babbage and Ada Lovelace created the Analytical Engine, a mechanical general-purpose computer. Lovelace is often credited with the idea of a machine that could manipulate symbols in accordance with rules and that it might act upon other than just numbers, touching upon concepts central to AI.
