Why is trust in artificial intelligence (AI) important? Imagine an app that could enable farmers to achieve the most efficient use of water possible, but farmers don’t use the app. It could save money and water, but they don’t use it because they are not familiar with the app’s developer or how the app will use their data.

If they haven’t done so already, cyber attackers may soon be arming themselves with artificial intelligence and machine learning (ML) strategies and algorithms. Before long, it may not be a fair fight if defenders remain naive to what AI and ML can do on both sides of the battle. So suggests a new report by IEEE and the Canadian tech consulting firm Syntegrity.
