Check out our latest workshop on genAI security/privacy. Standards and regulations typically solidify very late in a tech cycle - like decades late; the hard work to develop best practices happens in collaborations like these!
We are pleased to publish a paper that summarizes the findings from our second research workshop on "Risks and Mitigation Strategies of GenAI" held on October 16, 2023 and was truly an honor hosting and co-organizing this workshop with John Mitchell, Somesh Jha, and Mihai Christodorescu. The rise of Generative AI (GenAI) brings about transformative potential across sectors, but its dual-use nature also amplifies risks. Governments globally are grappling with the challenge of regulating GenAI, balancing innovation against safety. This paper summarizes the discussions during the workshop which addressed questions, such as: How regulation can be designed without hindering technological progress? How can technology evolve to meet regulatory standards? Thanks to our distinguished authors, speakers and panelists for their contributions: Mia Hoffmann, Matt Turek, Emelia Probasco, Soheil Feizi, Apostol Vassilev, Jonathan Katz, Matt Fredrikson, Zico Kolter, Neil Gong, Hima Lakkaraju, Ryan Craven, Yanjun (Jane) Qi, Jessica Newman, Mihai Christodorescu, John Mitchell, and Somesh Jha This workshop was co-organized by Stanford University, University of Wisconsin-Madison, and Google. We hope that this paper will be useful to the community. We welcome any feedback and will update the paper based on the feedback we receive.

For years, iPhone was known as having a longer security support lifetime than Android. Yet Apple never actually committed to a minimum support lifetime at purchase. Thanks to the UK government's PSTI regulation (which I had the pleasure of supporting via multiple testimonies and IoT security standards work - see https://lnkd.in/gH-4qGAR), Apple has finally published a purchase-time commitment - 5 years - two years LESS than Android flagships from Google (Pixel) and Samsung. Apple's 5 year commitment: https://lnkd.in/gNMAkubr. Google's 7-year commitment for devices starting w/ Pixel 8: https://lnkd.in/gJ2VhfxC. Samsung announcement of 7 years support: https://lnkd.in/g9uN3-7r. Consumers deserve to understand the minimum security support lifetimes for their consumer electronics at purchase time, and kudos to the UK government for mandating this transparency. Apple deserves a lot of credit for providing 5+ years of security updates for a long time. But now it's time to acknowledge iOS is no longer offering the best security lifetimes in the smartphone industry. Android is.

Smartphones are incredibly helpful in everyday tasks, online banking, photos, and networking. Our sensitive information, however, can be an attractive target for fraudsters. Today at Google I/O we announced new protections that help keep people and their digital lives safe, leveraging (of course) AI and developed by an incredible team of engineers that work tirelessly to defend you.

Today is my 7 year Googleversary. Yes, we call it that. Because nerds. Proud and honored to be on this journey with my amazing, talented, ass kicking Android Security & Privacy (ASAP) teammates, who work so hard every day to protect billions of users and their digital lives, and colleagues across Android, Google Play, and x-Google, and our many ecosystem partners who share the same mission, including the security and privacy teams at device manufacturers, chip manufacturers, MNOs, academia, NGOs and GOs, Linux and open source communities, and many others. Let's keep fighting the good fight, literally good v evil.

2wThanks Dave. Your blog matches my experience fighting malware, building defenses at scale, and estimating the efficacy of an engine is still an open problem. I wonder if it's also a provably unsolvable problem? :-)
