This repository hosts the research work titled "AI Security and Privacy – A State-of-the-Art Review," conducted by Benedikt Rein, Leila Zafarmand, and Theodor Rellin from Humboldt University Berlin, School of Business and Economics, Germany. The research presents a systematic mapping study exploring recent developments in AI security, privacy and alignment, including established frameworks and evaluation of scientific papers.
The study evaluates a collection of 75 scientific papers selected through a systematic approach. It focuses on frameworks helping practitioners, managers, auditors, and policymakers make informed decisions regarding AI security and privacy. The research uses the EU AI Act as a normative starting point and derives lifecycle- and value-based mapping categories from the frameworks. Key topics include federated learning, privacy-preserving training, and adversarial attacks, with an in-depth analysis of AI system architecture, data management, model training, and more. Notably, the research highlights the emerging importance of bias management and AI alignment in the field.
AI security and privacy is a rapidly evolving research area, with governments worldwide working on measures to ensure safe AI environments. There's no one-size-fits-all solution for AI policy, and frameworks do not claim to be complete blueprints for managing AI security and privacy. Recent topics include federated learning, privacy-preserving training, adversarial attacks, with less prominence on bias management and AI alignment. There is a need for more exploratory research focusing on bias, alignment, safety, and explainability in AI systems.
