VERITAS project could change the way scientists secure AI

The VERITAS project, led by Anita Nikolich at the University of Illinois School of Information Sciences, aims to establish AI Assurance as a core function of scientific research infrastructure to detect compromises in AI models, datasets, and automated systems that conventional cybersecurity tools miss.

The AI models, datasets, and automated systems researchers depend on can be compromised in ways conventional cybersecurity tools aren’t designed to detect. A new project called VERITAS VERified Infrastructure for Trustworthy AI in Science aims to close that gap by establishing AI Assurance as a core function of scientific research infrastructure. Led by Anita Nikolich, research scientist and director of research and technology innovation at the University of Illinois School of Information Sciences, the initiative … More https://www.helpnetsecurity.com/2026/07/28/veritas-ai-scientific-research-infrastructure-security/ The post VERITAS project could change the way scientists secure AI https://www.helpnetsecurity.com/2026/07/28/veritas-ai-scientific-research-infrastructure-security/ appeared first on Help Net Security https://www.helpnetsecurity.com .
