Introduction to AML
In this section, we will learn about what AML exactly is. We will begin by understanding the importance ML plays in today’s world, followed by the various kinds of adversarial attacks on models.
The importance of ML
In recent times, our reliance on ML has increased. Automated systems and models are in every sphere of our life. These systems often allow for fast decision-making without the need for manual human intervention. ML is a boon to security tasks; a model can learn from historical behavior, identify and recognize patterns, extract features, and render a decision much faster and more efficiently than a human can. Examples of some ML systems handling security-critical decisions are given here:
- Real-time fraud detection in credit card usage often uses ML. Whenever a transaction is made, the model looks at your location, the amount, the billing code, your past transactions, historical patterns, and other behavioral features. These are fed...
