Cybersecurity challenges in the age of AI

After conducting verification, especially examining the information field structure and sample data, the National Cyber Security Association (NCA) found that these were fake news, with no factual basis. However, due to a group of ignorant users continuing to share and comment on these contents, the information disturbance has increased.

According to Mr. Vu Ngoc Son, Head of the NCA Technology Department, fake news about data leaks causes relevant agencies and organizations to spend a lot of effort to check and verify, wasting resources and resources. The spread of fake news not only causes immediate impacts but also leaves long-term consequences, affecting people's trust. NCA recommends that internet users join hands to build a safe and healthy network environment, say no to fake news; absolutely do not share or spread unverified information from official sources...

In the context of strong development of artificial intelligence (AI) technology, directly affecting all areas of economic and social life, the issue of cyber security also faces more challenges. According to Lieutenant General Nguyen Minh Chinh, Permanent Vice President of NCA (former Director of the Department of Cyber Security and High-Tech Crime Prevention, Ministry of Public Security ), AI has deeply penetrated all areas, from economy to society, directly affecting sovereignty in digital space...

AI-as-a-Service (AI as a service) has been exploited by cybercriminals to create malware, fake voices, faces, texts, etc. to commit fraud, attack networks, infiltrate data systems, and even cause security instability and damage the reputation of organizations and businesses. Lieutenant General Nguyen Minh Chinh said that in cyberspace, data is a "resource", algorithms are "power" and AI has become a "soft weapon" with the power to shape reality. If not properly protected, AI systems themselves can be exploited to cause serious damage to the economy , society and national security.

Ensuring cybersecurity for AI must be a default component right from the design - operation - control stage. Only when firmly protected, AI can truly promote its value for humanity, for the safe and autonomous development of the country. Lieutenant General Nguyen Minh Chinh commented: "Developing AI is not only a science and technology task, but also a political , strategic and ethical problem. If done well, Vietnam can both take advantage of the unlimited power of AI and proactively respond to challenges."
