#MachineLearning #Academia

The ideal candidate is excited about advancing intrusion detection systems through AI, tackling key challenges like adversarial robustness, explainability, and cost-aware decision-making at the intersection of security and machine learning.

Combining data from different sources and relying on AI creates a new attack surface. We need to fix this before AI forecasts become the norm.
