Computer scientist Michael Lones released a new paper in the journal Patterns highlighting security risks in AI development [1]. The research warns that using generative AI to design or train machine-learning systems creates significant vulnerabilities [1][2]. These risks include increased chances of data leaks, bias, and targeted cyberattacks [1].
The study notes that while AI tools can speed up development, they often introduce hidden flaws [1]. These flaws can be exploited by malicious actors to compromise sensitive information or manipulate model outputs [1][2]. Lones emphasizes that developers must prioritize security when integrating these automated tools into their workflows [2].
