At CSAW 2019, virtuous hackers take on AI, 3D printing, deepfakes, and more

The world’s most comprehensive student-led cybersecurity contest, NYU Tandon’s annual CSAW games, on November 6-8, 2019 at NYU Tandon’s Brooklyn campus and at academic sites across three continents, is expanding to include new challenges that address vulnerabilities in artificial intelligence (AI) systems, microchip theft, and more. “Events like HackML and the Logic Locking Conquest are not just stimulating competitions,” said Ramesh Karri, director of CSAW, professor of electrical and computer engineering at NYU Tandon … “They generate avenues of inquiry, innovative approaches to thinking about devices we use every day, and real-world solutions. Furthermore, competitions like the CSAW Red Team Challenge have encouraged thousands of students to pursue fields with high demand for new talent and fresh ideas.”
