The Suggestible Machine: Lessons from Psychology, Cybersecurity and AI Security
What you will learn:
For decades, social engineering has targeted people. Today, it increasingly targets AI. Many AI security failures are not the result of technical exploits, but of influence. By leveraging psychological principles such as trust, persuasion, and framing, humans can manipulate AI systems into bypassing safeguards and violating their intended behaviour. This talk explores what cybersecurity can learn from psychology and why the future of AI security may depend as much on understanding influence as understanding technology.
