  Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) have become
increasingly vital in the development of novel defense and intelligence
capabilities across all domains of warfare. An adversarial AI (A2I) and
adversarial ML (AML) attack seeks to deceive and manipulate AI/ML models. It is
imperative that AI/ML models can defend against these attacks. A2I/AML defenses
will help provide the necessary assurance of these advanced capabilities that
use AI/ML models. The A2I Working Group (A2IWG) seeks to advance the research
and development of assured AI/ML capabilities via new A2I/AML defenses by
fostering a collaborative environment across the U.S. Department of Defense and
U.S. Intelligence Community. The A2IWG aims to identify specific challenges
that it can help solve or address more directly, with initial focus on three
topics: AI Trusted Robustness, AI System Security, and AI/ML Architecture
Vulnerabilities.
