Bilbao, 08/09/2022. The AI4CYBER (Trustworthy Artificial Intelligence for Cybersecurity Reinforcement and System Resilience) project kick-off meeting took place in hybrid format in Bilbao and online on 7-8 September 2022 with the participation of all consortium partners.
Running for 36 months, the AI4CYBER project aims to establish an Ecosystem Framework of next generation Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based services that will support critical system developers and operators in efficiently managing system robustness, resilience and appropriate response in the face of advanced and AI-powered cyberattacks. The project will thus deliver a collection of innovative resilience and autonomous response services that leverage AI models and Big Data, aimed to be encapsulated in cybersecurity tools to ensure a continuum of system protection.
This ecosystem will be validated in three use cases:
- Detection and Mitigation of AI-powered Attacks against the Energy Sector
- Robustness and autonomous adaptation of Banking applications to face AI-powered attacks
- Resilient hospital services against advanced and AI-powered cyber-physical attacks.
The AI4CYBER framework will also ensure fundamental rights and values-based AI technology in its services, through the integration of demonstrable explainability, fairness and technology robustness (security) capabilities in the AI4CYBER components.
During the kick-off meeting, partners introduced their role, outlined their expectations and agreed on a tentative plan of action for each Work Package for the next 12 months. In this first phase of the project, the consortium will work on designing and specifying the functional and no-functional requirements of the AI4CYBER solution, as well as the initial system architecture. In addition, all partners will begin to raise awareness around the project and its objectives.*
