In this relatively informal discussion-paper we summarise issues in the domains of safety and security in machine learning that will affect industry sectors in the next five to ten years. Various products using neural network classification, most often in vision related applications but also in predictive maintenance, have been researched and applied in real-world applications in recent years. Nevertheless, reports of underlying problems in both safety and security related domains, for instance adversarial attacks have unsettled early adopters and are threatening to hinder wider scale adoption of this technology. The problem for real-world applicability lies in being able to assess the risk of applying these technologies. In this discussion-paper we describe the process of arriving at a machine-learnt neural network classifier pointing out safety and security vulnerabilities in that workflow, citing relevant research where appropriate.
