About This AI Online Course

The U.S. Department of Defense and Intelligence Community are both working rapidly diligently to evolve to artificial intelligence-ready enterprises.

In support of this major change effort, the DoD and Intelligence Community workforces—both military and civilian—and personnel in government contractor companies must possess the right level of knowledge and skills to best utilize powerful artificial intelligence solutions in support of mission requirements.

AI holds tremendous potential for improving the efficiency and effectiveness of the DoD components and military services. In fact, AI is already making great things happen.

However, and like any other technology solution, AI is vulnerable and at risk of cyberattacks. You must understand AI cybersecurity risks and vulnerabilities to keep these technology solutions secure and to navigate any security concerns if and when they arise.

This vulnerability holds tremendous and very real implications for the security of our nation—today and tomorrow.

In this online course, you will learn the four aspects of AI cybersecurity and their impacts to operations. We will also describe the limitations and vulnerabilities of AI to help keep these solutions secure on your watch.

What You Will Learn

  • Understand the differences between AI security and risk
  • Describe the four aspects of AI security
  • Explain the limitations and cybersecurity risks of AI systems
  • Grasp how “bad actors” both stateside and overseas are leveraging AI and machine learning to the potential detriment to national security

This course is aligned with DoD strategies.
