AI Security Map

This AI Security Map consists of the elements that AI should fulfill within information systems (information system aspect) and the elements that impact individuals and society as a result of AI being attacked or misused (external influence aspect). This map organizes the negative impacts in these two aspects, the attacks and factors that cause them, as well as the corresponding defense methods and countermeasures. In addition, it systematically examines the relationships between the information system aspect and the external influence aspect, clarifying how the compromise or misuse of AI can affect individuals and society. Figure 1 provides an overview of the AI Security Map. For details, please refer to About AI Security Map.
