Executive Summary
In an era where AI powers essential business functions, the integrity and security of AI systems are paramount. Recent incidents have shown that even sophisticated AI systems can fall prey to cyber threats, leading to compromised customer data and tarnished brand reputation. Our AI Incident Response Exercise is designed to prepare your team to effectively handle such incidents, ensuring meeting regulations, business continuity and safeguarding customer trust.
We are listing some scenarios but will create context based ones for you.
Scenario 1: Healthcare
Scenario: AI Diagnostic Tool Misdiagnosis
Background: A hospital implements an advanced AI diagnostic tool designed to assist in the early detection of skin cancer by analyzing images of skin lesions. The tool has been marketed as highly accurate and efficient, capable of detecting subtle patterns not always apparent to the human eye.
Incident Unfolding:
Bias and Misdiagnosis: The AI tool begins to show a pattern of misdiagnosing conditions in patients with darker skin tones at a significantly higher rate than those with lighter skin. This discrepancy arises from the AI’s training predominantly on images of lesions from lighter-skinned individuals, leading to a bias in its diagnostic accuracy.
Privacy Concern: During the investigation into the misdiagnoses, a security flaw is discovered in the AI system, exposing patients’ personal and health information, raising serious privacy concerns and violating HIPAA regulations.
Lack of Transparency: The healthcare providers using the AI tool struggle to understand why certain diagnoses were made due to the system’s lack of transparency. This opacity hampers their ability to provide clear explanations to affected patients, eroding trust.
Regulatory and Compliance Violations: The incidents prompt regulatory scrutiny. The hospital faces potential fines for violating privacy laws and is criticized for not adequately vetting the AI tool for bias and compliance with healthcare regulations.
Scenario 2: Overview: The Compromised Chatbot
A company’s customer service chatbot, equipped with advanced NLP capabilities, begins to send malicious content and phishing links to customers. This incident poses significant risks, including data breaches and damage to customer trust. The scenario unfolds in stages, from detection through recovery, providing a comprehensive test of your incident response capabilities.
