Expo-Highlight Google Cloud: Using AI wisely - How Google ensures safe AI frameworks

Google ensures secure AI frameworks

But as with any powerful tool, we need to ensure that AI is used competently and securely. Google's Secure AI Framework (SAIF) helps customers do just that. What is SAIF? Think of SAIF as a kind of protective shield for AI systems. It was developed by Google to minimize the risks associated with the use of AI. These include, for example:

- Data poisoning: Hackers may try to manipulate the data used to train an AI in order to trick it into making bad decisions.

- Model theft: Criminals could try to steal the AI model itself in order to misuse it for their own purposes.

- Prompt injection: Attackers can use clever inputs to try and get an AI to perform unwanted or dangerous actions.

Google Cloud's AI framework offers a variety of measures to effectively defend against these and other threats. That includes strict security standards for the development of AI models, improved methods for detecting and defending against attacks and automated protection mechanisms. We naturally include the AI platform in these concepts and rely on the end-to-end integration of controls and protection mechanisms in Vertex AI. Why is SAIF important for everyone? AI is becoming part of our everyday lives. It has been integrated into our smartphones, our cars and even our hospitals. What is described here is implemented at Google Cloud. With Vertex AI, we offer a fully managed, unified AI development platform for building and using applications based on generative AI. You have access to Vertex AI Studio, Agent Builder and more than 150 base models, including Gemini 1.5 Pro and Gemini 1.5 Flash.
