The Importance of Protecting AI Models

In this contributed article, Rick Echevarria, Vice President, Security Center of Excellence, Intel, touches on the growing importance of protecting AI models and the data they contain, as this data is often sensitive, private, or regulated. Leaving AI models and their data training sets unmanaged, unmonitored, and unprotected can put an organization at significant risk of data theft, fines, and more. Additionally, poorly managed data practices could result in costly compliance violations or a data breach that must be disclosed to customers.
