I was born in Latvia that was part of
Soviet Union until my parents my sister
and I moved to Israel at age of eleven
well present the absorption center with
many immigrants from all around the
world it was sort of a Tower of Babel
with people that speak many languages
different cultures and then we moved to
a less reputable neighborhood in
Jerusalem where the tone was said by
kind of people that today my you might
call criminals now try to picture
yourself this well-educated redhead geek
a result of typical Russian education
meeting the kids of local criminal
families now I knew that I would never
want to become a bully but also knew
that I have to find a way to feed among
those kids so I decided to leverage my
hobbies and talents which I knew that
they will appreciate mainly innovation
computer hacking and especially
lock-picking and I have to say that
those same hobbies indeed kept me out of
trouble it’s also helped me to become
the type of a computer geek that today
will be grabbed by two hands by the
famous 8200 intelligence unit but back
then because of my ability to see
complex technology systems and
understand the big technology picture I
was actually recruited by a top elite
Air Force intelligence unit but will not
talk about it today let’s just agree
that they gave me a lot of skills
abilities and experience that keep
serving me until today now let’s fast
forward to the year 2010 picture a
meeting among the best minds from the US
and Israeli top intelligence communities
the purpose of the meeting how to stop
or at least to slow down the nuclear
program of Iran by the way the
assumption that this meeting actually
took place is only based on media
reports okay
but what we do know in retrospect that
some invisible hand infected the nuclear
the Siemens centrifuges in nuclear
facility in Iran with the very
sophisticated virus whose sole purpose
was to change the speed of the
centrifuges so they will stop in rich
uranium by the way the entire facility
was totally isolated from the Internet
of the grid what we call air gapped so
the virus had to be autonomous and have
its own intelligence now the results of
the creativeminds in that meeting set a
historical precedent because bad guys
were watching and longing and this
episode represents a clear example of
how technology changed the entire world
of physical crime and terrorist attacks
few years later this understanding
trigger similar episode an episode that
many european banks and all forcement
agencies would like to forget the
headlines was explicit cobalt groups
steals hundreds of millions of dollars
from ATMs across Europe what happened is
that using a signal water which was
agreed in upon in advance
ATMs started to eject cash in hands of
people that were waiting to receive this
cash now those people knew that that’s
what’s gonna happen and still they
couldn’t believe when actually see cash
coming out of the ATMs now I’m not not
talking by the way about people who were
waiting near the ntam to get the salary
to allow them to survive yet another
week I’m talking about a big criminal
gang hired by hackers who activated
those ATMs from the remote each
collection team had a suitable luggage
to collect tens of thousands of euros
coming from multiple ATMs the collection
process by the way to only a few minutes
and then they disappeared some people
began to call it the new model for
organized criminal crime now I know that
it sounds like a good three let’s start
of a good thriller
so yes many bank seals thought the same
until into July 2016 their worst
nightmares became true according to
Europol report there are over 3 million
STM’s in the world which makes this
business a very lucrative business for
criminals whether we have many of you
have seen ATM from the inside so did I
decided to show you one that’s a typical
ATM and as you can see the money is in
the safe by the way that’s how each and
every ATM looks like the money’s in the
safe very difficult to break into this
safe but the computer that is
controlling the motor inside the safe is
actually very easy accessible either
from remote or by using master key it’s
just a simple key and what hackers found
that if you hack into the brain of the
ATM you can actually ask this brain to
send commands to the motor and each time
you type on your keyboard a bill comes
out of the ATM by the way there is a
small camera here it’s very easy to shut
the camera down so nobody will know that
it ever happened so using the new
commercialized cyber weaponry you
actually don’t need to break the ATM
safe anymore so the world of organized
crime has changed forever remember this
Kida was back in jerusalem that time in
order to steal money from a bank you
were supposed to source for a weapon
break into the branch of a bank
threatened the employees and be in risk
or heavy and having the risk of being
injured live in code today bad guys
don’t try to break into the branch of a
bank anymore
and shooting there today it’s much
easier to deploy a computer with some
kind of intelligence that will still
only one dollar from your bank account
but we’ll do it tens of millions of
times in a row that’s what computers are
good at well let’s take a look at
another example money laundry in
terrorist funding which becomes one of
the greatest threats to banks and
regulators
money laundry today done the same way
computer residing in totally different
country using artificial intelligence
send commands to move funds between
accounts in a bank in a way that
existing systems and humans will not be
able to identify this day in order to
conduct a massive financial crime all
you need is a computer connected to the
internet and some kind of intelligence
since my early days I had a privilege to
manage successful startup companies and
today I manage an company called feta
ray I believe one of the most exciting
one where we spearhead the use of
artificial intelligence to fight with
financial crime and attacks on critical
infrastructure we have developed
artificial intelligence that allows the
system to learn and adapt itself to the
threat and the system is built on
principles of big data analytics ability
to analyze hyper dimensional data from
many different sources and very
effective algorithms that allow to
detect threats with very high precision
but with very low level of false alarms
this method of effective machine
learnings is based on the principle of
uncovering the unknown unknowns
sometimes in mathematics we call it and
supervised donning now let’s take a look
back on the money laundry or terrorist
funding until now money laundering
scheme was only be able to identify when
crime was conducted and money has left
the bank today with our new technology
based on artificial intelligence we can
actually identify innocent movements of
funds or allegedly innocent movements of
funds within accounts in a bank in many
cases our technology detects money
laundry 70 days before an actual attempt
to conduct a crime and take the money
out of the bank sounds unbelievable
doesn’t it these systems work on daily
basis in the largest and leading banks
in the world and helps to protect those
banks again crimes such as terrorist
funding money laundry and human
trafficking financing so many people ask
what AI is and where people ask me
what is the I I actually love to quote a
Marvin Minsky who once said artificial
intelligence is the science of making
computers to do things that if human
beings will do them will require
intelligence artificial intelligence is
not some passing phenomena it affects
and will continue to affect upon various
industries financial institutions
government organizations industrial
transportation aviation warfare you name
it for example computer doctor today can
provide your second opinion what some
systems can analyze huge amount of data
and suggest you a different treatment
gaming I don’t you know but today the
world champion of chess is a computer as
well as the ball champion of ancient
game of Go Chinese ancient game of goal
of course personal assistance and speech
recognition systems Amazon Alexa Google
assistant Apple Siri facial recognition
systems autonomous vehicles weapons and
more and more oh there are many things
people call AI classically I can be
compared to cognitive systems once they
identify a pattern of behavior activity
there are able to use analytic abilities
that imitate human brain to propose you
an action but this type of AI is not
good enough to identify unknown threats
unexpected events or detect unknown
unknowns in other words but if you think
about it that’s where the real danger is
for example let’s take classic AI
systems you can today teach the systems
how to identify rabbit and then it will
identify all the types of rabbits of
different different types and shapes and
forms but if you expect the system to
identify a snake it will not be able to
do it because nobody taught it how to
identify snake
of course you can tell the system look
will train you to alert anytime there is
anything other than a rabbit but then
we’ll have millions of false alarms and
we will not be able to distinguish
between real threat and a fake one so
the next generation of a Isis
simulate the activity of n of the
ancient part of human brain which is
responsible primary mercy
impulses observing the data from our
visual and auditory systems and then
telling different organs in our body how
to behave there’s the new artificial
intelligence paradigm developing
computers adopt human traits we
eventually speaking of a new generation
of artificial intelligence systems which
are learning independently like a child
to define danger or identify danger
without previously know what they are
looking for this ability to identify
strange behavior by the way is very
intuitive and easy for us humans for
example when you drive a car and you
suddenly hear strange noise most of us
even people without any mechanical
training will be able to identify that
something wrong is going on the next
generation of AI is similar to a very
sensitive ear that will use common sense
to identify that something wrong is
going on in a way we provide machines
with human characteristics such as
feelings or gut feelings intuition and
common sense which basically makes those
machines really look similar to us now a
why provides all areas of our lives some
of us might find it very threatening
many others will see and understand the
potential of taking human abilities in
introducing them into computer systems
very soon we’ll see many devices
communicating with each other very soon
we’ll see connected autonomous cars that
in order to optimize traffic will have
to learn how to communicate with each
other but today autonomous cars or IOT
devices in terms of things devices
communicate using languages that we
human being taught them
we call it protocols not very efficient
very soon
those machines will develop their own
language that will be much more
efficient but of course where humans
will not be able to understand it
anymore
in me 2017 something amazing or
something very happened depend Facebook
shut down its artificial intelligence
lab because they suspected that the
computer started to communicate with
each other in a way that Facebook
engineers couldn’t understand anymore
this raised a significant question to us
should we feel artificial intelligence
in terms of announcers leading names of
the industry claimed that we are heading
towards our magadhan chaos where
autonomous systems will operate beyond
our control where we would not be able
understand to trust them and they will
bring the end of the world my answer is
different I think that in order to avoid
this doomsday we must prepare ourselves
in advance we must harness the power of
machines to help us so we can control
and manage our own values and the edge
of smart machines now let’s face it
every new technology brings with it its
own set of fears of the unknown let me
give a few examples with only common
leisure commercialization of cars people
predicted the destruction of a family
unit
when telephones were brought to the
market for those of you remember people
predicted the end of cultural debate at
some point even the print led people to
feel the decline of memory I remember
when I took place in building the first
and the largest Internet service
provider many people directly predicted
the extinction of human interaction as
we know it yes there are some small
truths hidden among those disturbing
predictions but this technology has many
contributed to expand in our human
experience increasing our capabilities
in deepening our development we are
committed to take a mean experience even
further the new class of smart machines
is arising
machines that will be bred trained and
educated to access digital guards
helping us to protect ourselves we
should not be afraid to create an
artificial intelligence because if done
right it will build upon our own values
and whether we according to my
experience in the world of technology
developments good guys always win so
don’t worry human race will survive
having said that we do have a
responsibility in this new world of
smart machines interacting with each
other we humans must utilize the power
of machines to help us to protect
ourselves we all have to do it and I
have to tell you that I’m very
privileged to take part in making this
world of connecting humans and machines
much much safer thank you
