SSF invests 60 million in cyber resilience for AI systems!

Over the past 10 years, the Swedish Foundation for Strategic Research, SSF, has invested more than 600 million kronor in AI-related research and research in cybersecurity. Now comes another call that will put Sweden on the map in cyber-resilient AI systems. The goal is to make future AI systems robust and resilient to cyberattacks and technical errors.

Sweden is one of the world’s leading countries in digitalization, but we are lagging behind when it comes to AI and cybersecurity. This means that we risk missing out on future opportunities with AI and that our digital independence could be threatened. SSF is therefore investing 60 million kronor in a multidisciplinary center in cyber resilience for AI systems.

Examples of research questions are:

Threat and Risk Analyses and Implications for various AI-systems and use cases.
Explainable AI (XAI) for transparency, traceability, trustworthiness in AI-systems.
Secure-by-Design AI-Systems and Zero Trust Architectures for cyber-resilience.
Systems-of-AI-Systems using swarm behavior features for cyber-resilience.
Safe Training Infrastructures prevent data manipulation during AI learning phase.
Data-Extraction Prevention shields AI training data from compromised model.
AI Cyber Threat Intelligence for automated threat prevention, prediction, detection, and response.

The center is part of SSF’s initiative on Multidisciplinary Research Centers (MRC). The aim is to stimulate multidisciplinary research between academia, research institutes, industry and society for sharper results and faster application. The application must clearly describe the scientific issues and European collaboration.
