The newly established Auburn University Center for Artificial Intelligence and Cybersecurity Engineering ( AU-CAICE ) rebrands and expands the university’s existing cybersecurity research efforts to reflect shifting technologies and growing threats. 78 percent of key information security officers, according to security firm , claim that AI-powered computer risks are having a major impact on their businesses.
27 faculty members from various academic backgrounds collaborate to create and study AI-driven security solutions, with a focus on CyberAI, SecureAI, and the cross SecureCyberAI. While SecureAI flips the text, making sure that AI systems themselves are stable, CyberAI analysis focuses on applying AI technologies to security issues.
In a statement released by the agency’s first director, Gerry Dozier,” SecureCyberA I will be best served by security measures that are real-time, self-healing, anti-fragile arms race devices for securing an AI system.”
AU-CAICE marks a formal renaming and restructuring of the work, placing AI more at the center, despite the university’s previously explored these topics through the Auburn Cyber Research Center (ACRC ). More than$ 10 million in research awards have been awarded by ACRC since 2017, including contracts with the CIA and the U.S. Army. Previous ACRC Interim Director Daniel Tauritz stated in a statement that ACRC has increased its efforts to bridge AI and security.
The core honors ACRC’s devotion to security quality while expanding its scope and effects, keeping Auburn at the top of the field for security education and research, according to Associate Dean for Research Allan David in a statement.
In addition to its research and development goals, AU-CAICE will work with like the Ethical Hacking Club and Society for Responsible AI, as well as with research institutions like the McCrary Institute for Cyber and Important Infrastructure Security and the .
We want our new facility to be recognized nationwide for being a team that successfully fosters and fosters formal, long-term, and academic relationships, Dozier said. Additionally,” we want to function as the epicenter of an ecosystem that actively collaborates with government, business, and industry, and national laboratories. We want people to see our new facility as a tool that can be used to enhance their lives and give them a competitive advantage, first and foremost.
Auburn’s leader of AI initiatives, Hari Narayanan, stated in a public statement that the launch of AU-CAICE is in line with recent additions to the university’s academic offerings, including new undergraduate and graduate degree and certificate programs in AI.
The department’s continued focus on research and education on these two subjects reflects a commitment to excellence and innovation in areas critical to the nation’s future, he said.
