AI security in different industries: A comprehensive review of vulnerabilities and mitigation strategies

Artificial intelligence has quickly and gradually spread across all sectors and fields, achieving exceptional performance in operations and decision-making. Yet, as industries process their tasks with the help of AI systems, new threats appear that require proper solutions. In the following section of this paper, the use of security solutions involving AI in various industries, which are finance, health, manufacturing, and government, as well as a discussion of risks involving artificial intelligence in particular fields and the corresponding measures to be taken against them will be discussed.
AI is often applied to detect fraud and credit scoring in the financial sector but has potential risks, such as adversarial attacks and data manipulation. Similarly, the healthcare industry uses AI for predictive healthcare diagnostics and patient information protection; threats are data theft and adversarial examples attacking diagnostic models. In manufacturing, AI individuals contain predictive servicing and excellent control, though they are constantly exposed to industrial espionage and the sabotage of AI models. In retail, however, AI is used to improve marketing and predict consumer behavior. While these benefits exist, questions about using Algorithms that could be biased and privacy infringements continue to raise their ugly head. Defensive and governmental organizations that apply AI for surveillance or automatic operating systems are most vulnerable to adversarial intervention with key control systems and innate security systems.
To counter such threats, this paper provides details of industry-specific measures, including adversarial training data sanitization, AI model audit, and privacy-preserving approaches. We illustrate examples linked to every one of these methods to show how they can be deployed in a variety of industries and to guard AI systems.
To this end, the following review of the relationship between AI and cybersecurity demonstrates that security measures that rely on artificial intelligence must be regularly checked and updated. This reveals the call for proper, protective, and industry-specific measures to manage the risks and protect AI applications to ensure that the world’s modern, interconnected world is safe for AI.
