Georgia Tech School of Electrical and Computer Engineering associate professor Saman Zonouz talked to Latitude Media about the growing vulnerabilities of energy infrastructure and engineered systems. These systems are becoming increasingly targeted by cyberattacks, sometimes through the use of artificial intelligence (AI). While AI poses new threats, it also might be the answer when it comes to protecting this critical infrastructure.
