I'm going to write a review of an interesting talk I attended on the topic of Meta machine learning security and privacy. To be honest, I didn’t really know what "Meta" was all about. I thought “oh, sounds cool” but I had no idea what they actually do. The speaker, a professor from Waterloo, made the topic engaging by emphasizing the importance of understanding not just the threats but also who the attackers are and what they can do.
A key topic of interest was model stealing, where hackers can manipulate AI models by intelligently asking the right questions. This is very important as AI becomes more part of our daily lives and we need to protect AI from bad actors.
The speaker also highlighted two key concerns: first is we need better models to understand who we are protecting against and second is we must find effective ways to defend against multiple threats at the same time. These insights are crucial as we navigate the complexities of AI security. Overall, this was a refreshing talk and I was glad to hear it from a professor at the University of Waterloo~
