Machine learning advancements have grown rapidly in the last few years. However, machine learning is heavily dependent on data, as machine learning models are trained on vast datasets that are then used to provide insight or draw conclusions. This reliance on data means that machine learning can be subverted by an adversary who is able to manipulate even just a small portion of the data.

This talk will provide an overview of what adversarial machine learning is and details on some categories of vulnerabilities. Additionally, this talk will provide a list of things to think about when using or developing machine learning models.
