Adversarial Machine Learning: Safeguarding Al models from Attacks

Abstract

The field of AML has gained considerable popularity over the years with researchers seeking to explore gaps and new opportunities for growth. This goal of this report is to offer an in-depth survey of adversary attacks and defences in machine learning by examining existing gaps in current algorithms and understanding the implications for systems. By exploring evasion, poisoning, extraction, and inference attacks, the paper reveals the weaknesses of the existing methodologies such as adversarial training, data sanitization, and differential privacy. These techniques are usually not versatile to newer threats and have raised concerns about how effective they are in practical use. The research contributes to the field by conducting an extensive literature review of 35 articles and highlighting the need to implement adaptive and diverse defence strategies as well as empirical studies to evaluate the effectiveness of AML mechanisms. Some of the strategic suggestions are to incorporate continuous training frameworks, optimise real-time monitoring processes, and improve privacy-preserving methods to safeguard confidential information. This analysis is envisaged to offer practical data to foster the development of AML to help in the development of robust AI systems that will remain impregnable to various kinds of adversarial threats in numerous vital sectors. The study examines the basic design and consequences of various attacks in addition to the impact of subtle manipulation of input data on patterns and privacy. The report further addresses the modern challenges of large language models (LLMs) and autonomous systems. Furthermore, this research emphasises the significance of robust protection against enemy attack in strategic areas. The studies additionally evaluate present day protection mechanisms inclusive of antagonistic training, enter preprocessing, and making models stronger and more reliable. By evaluating the efficiency of these defences and evaluating key areas for improvement, the dissertation provides invaluable insights into enhancing the security and

reliability of systems. The results of addressing the attacks and defences expose the need for unremitting advancements in data protection in various systems.
