UM-Dearborn’s Birhanu Eshete<\/strong>, computer science professor, is developing new technology<\/a> to keep up with malicious parties on the dark web. Eshete is in a continuous race against cyberattackers who wield weapons that are ever-evolving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eshete’s work involves infiltrating and monitoring machines on a network, known as “transparent computing.” He recently used this type of computing to complete a Department of Defense-funded project. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But as we\u2019re starting to see, an A.I. system can also be the target of attacks, or weaponized towards attack mechanization. That\u2019s the winter.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
