"with dawn song systems will always have security vulnerabilities I started abroad almost philosophical level that's a very good question I mean in general right it's very difficult to write completely..."

"vulnerabilities it's exciting ones very fascinating ones in the space of machine learning but is there a particular security vulnerability that worries you the most that you think about the most in te..."

"fascinating topic you work on is again also non-traditional to think about a security vulnerability but I guess it is is adversarial machine learning is basically again high up the stack being able to..."

"let's talk about another space that people have some concern about which is autonomous driving is sort of security concerns that's another real world system so do you have should people be worried abo..."
