For
putting humans and AI on the same team
Cyberattacks are a constantly evolving menace that can’t be
contained by humans alone. MIT research scientist Kalyan Veeramachaneni has
devoted much of his career to helping cybersecurity experts and
artificial-intelligence systems work in tandem to stop hackers. In 2016 he
launched PatternEx, a security startup that uses artificial intelligence to
detect potential threats, then turns those findings over to human analysts for
verification. Once the analyst has weighed in, the system learns from this
feedback, helping it turn up fewer false positives over time. According to the
company, PatternEx is able to predict cyberattacks with 85% accuracy.
“It’s not about completely replacing the person,” says Veeramachaneni. “It’s
about saving them time and work.” He also cofounded another startup in 2015:
Feature Labs uses AI to do the work of a data scientist, helping companies
parse their vast troves of intel.
